How often have you been to a website but been turned off by the poor quality (or complete lack) of photos. Now take a close look at your own website – do the photos you are using inspire, or scare off your potential customers ?
In today’s “Digital age”, digital photography has well and truly taken the place of traditional printed photos and hardcopy photo albums, and the internet is becoming the primary medium for displaying and sharing photos. Add to this the proliferation of user managed websites and blogs, and an explosion in the use of photos on social media, and it should be no surprise that more and more people are becoming interested in “Web Photography”.
Many of the photos we see online, particularly those that are “user” generated are pretty ordinary, and most of us are probably guilty of uploading a “not so great” image to the web at some time or other.
How to take Photos for the web
Many people find the idea of editing and uploading digital photos daunting, however, with a little training, a few hints and tips, and a bit of guidance, most people find they are able to relatively easily create and upload “professional” looking photos for the web .
This course not only instructs students on the fundamentals of taking good photographs. It also guides them through the process of editing and publishing better photos for use on the web.
Whether it is product photos for your eCommerce site, portraits or head shots of your staff, photos to reflect your services, or photos to stress a point in your blog, having good photos on your website is critical to your users experience and is likely to have a significant impact on the effectiveness of your website.
