| Know your faculty |
 |
Photographer, filmmaker, graphic designer, lecturer and trainer par excellence –Danny Fontaine, our faculty for the course, is all this and more!
Danny began as a painter but a short trip to New York during his student years got him oriented towards photography – night photography in particular. Danny says ‘Night photography gave me the opportunity to crossover painting, photography, acting, and even filmmaking.’ Danny eventually graduated with a first class BA (Hon.) in Fine Art & Photography; he also took home the Kodak AOP Student Photographer of the Year 2004 award in his graduating year.

Even while in college, he found that after photography, teaching was his other passion. He began his teaching career immediately after graduation. Apart from conducting private and public courses on the subject, he is also a Senior Lecturer for BA and MA courses at Kingston university . He has been a freelance photographer in the music industry with experience in both live and location shoots. He has held exhibitions of his work in reputed art galleries on both sides of the Atlantic and his photographs have been published in many of the top trade magazines and he is recognized as the master of night photography |
| |
Age certainly belies the experience of this young expert. When asked by a journalist of the e-magazine, “Inside Graphics” ‘What fascinates you most about photography?’
|
| |
Danny Fontaine replied, ‘The fact, that one still image can capture a split second, or it can capture an unlimited period of time, is an incredible thing’. His passion is now to teach this technique to other avid photographers.
