A UK college here is offering its students a new course on the art of selfies and chance to become fully qualified selfie-takers. City Lit College will offer a first ever ‘selfie course’ for Euro 132 ($160) starting this March called “The art of photographic selfportraiture”.The month-long course consisting of lectures and seminars will help students “improve critical understanding of the photographic self-portrait,” The Telegraph reported.
Students can look forward to explore no tions of identity, selfhood and memory.
“The budding photographers will be taught how to explain ideas of space, place and surrounding issues, use light and significant detail in their work and even develop new ideas to make their photography more relevant,” the report said.
They would also be expected to “critique visual work from a variety of practitioners,” it said.
The ‘practitioners could include Ellen Degeneres whose 2015 Oscar selfie became the most retweeted ever.
