Holiday Gifting Ideas with Orms

It’s officially the season to be jolly! But it’s also the season to give and that can sometimes bring stress trying to find the perfect gift for that someone special. Make this festive season extra special by giving the gift of learning a new skill, a present that will last for years to come and who knows, it could be the start of a new career. 

At Orms Cape Town School of Photography there are so many great courses on offer for a variety of interests. These are just a few that we feel are ideal Christmas gifts for budding photographers, bloggers, social media influencers and creatives! Digital Photography 1 Getting to know your camera: This entry level course combines theory and practice enabling you to take better photographs with your digital SLR (single-lens reflex) camera, by increasing your theoretical understanding of photography and exploring your creative side. Great stocking filler idea: Memory cards! Everyone needs a spare memory at hand just incase. Smartphone Photography Creativity in your pocket: Smartphones are the ideal companion to all photographers; being small and discreet, they provide us with the opportunity to explore, discover and capture our worlds at the touch of a button. Learn how to play with this medium and create and share images that are distinctly yours. Great stocking filler idea: Everyone loves seeing their photographs as prints! Orms Print Room & Framing offers Instagram prints so you can turn your cellphone pictures into tangible memories. Black & White Photography Shoot on film: Dedicated to students working with 35mm black and white film using traditional SLR cameras, this course will teach you how to shoot and keep working with black and white techniques in mind. Learn how to process film, make contact sheets, problem-solve particular areas in your photographs and print your own pictures whilst developing a small body of work for exhibition purposes. Great stocking filler idea: They’ll be learning darkroom skills and the next step is developing their own photographs. So naturally, they’ll need some rolls of film.
