The cost of the course lasting one month is 132 pounds, or about $ 200. Lectures will help "improve your critical understanding of a photographic self-portrait." There will not be taught to take a selfie in the mirror in the bathroom, but will teach concepts such as light sensitivity, aperture and shutter speed, as well as the use of these functions to create photos.
The tradition of self-portrait, made with the help of photography, dates back to 1839, when Robert Cornelius photographed himself for a daguerreotype. The self-portrait has gained popularity due to the widespread proliferation of smartphones with cameras.
