Bespoke Photography Course at Start in Salford
The Photography Department designed a special bespoke one day photogrphy course for Salix Homes Officers to help improve the photographic skills that they'll need for documenting projects and events at work for their publications and website. The course was delivered by John Brewer, one of our sessional artists, and the day was a great success. Salix Homes felt they got a lot out of the day and their officer's are now confident photographers.
