What to Photograph in your city?

Birmingham may not be the most elegant or beautiful city in the country, but its energy and history make up for it. There are so many hidden gems waiting to be discovered by you and your camera. We recommend spending a day walking through the city, paying close attention to your surroundings. Even if you feel like you know Birmingham, try to spot something new and take a photograph of it. You may surprise yourself with what you find!

We love the historic neighbourhoods like the Jewellery Quarter where thousands of stories are waiting to be told. If you like to weave a narrative with your images, then check out our 'Reportage Photography' course. Here you will learn how to captivate the viewer and tell a story using a series of photographs. A picture is worth a thousand words may be an age-old saying, but it still rings true today! If you hang out in trendy areas like Digbeth, and enjoy Birmingham's vibrant side, then consider our 'Street Photography' course. Here you will learn to take candid shots of the unexpected moments in life. Street photography is one of the most exciting genres of photography, and Birmingham is certainly filled with plenty of excitement! After this course, the streets of Birmingham will transform into your playground!

Don't forget to also take a look at our extensive list of live online courses. Here you will find a wide array of courses that you can study without having to leave the house! Want to improve your editing skills? Sign up to the Adobe Lightroom course. Need to spice up your social media profile? Then our Instagram course is the one for you! Our smartphone photography courses are ideal for students who don't own an SLR camera, DSLR camera or a film camera. Whether you are a pro or beginner, our courses will meet your needs. Just like Birmingham, there's a little something for everyone!
