The Institute of Human-Centered Engineering (iHumEn) recently organized a comprehensive smartphone photography course at the Seminar Room in the Media and Game Innovation Centre of Excellence (MaGICX). This program was designed explicitly for UTM staff to enhance their smartphone photography skills. The course was led by the invited speaker, Mr. Mohamad Hafiz bin Ismail, who guided participants through various fundamental photography techniques.

The program began with a warm, welcoming address by Prof. Dr. Mohd Shahrizal Sunar, the Director of iHumEn. He highlighted the importance of visual communication in today’s digital age and the relevance of mastering photography skills, even with just a smartphone. The course aimed to equip participants with the skills to produce high-quality photos and images for personal or professional use.

Participants were introduced to the basics of photography, starting with understanding the essential features of their smartphone cameras. The speaker provided in-depth knowledge of various elements of photography, including exposure, focus, and composition.

He emphasized the importance of lighting techniques in capturing stunning photos and demonstrated how to use natural and artificial light best.

The program was highly interactive, with numerous assignments and practical exercises. Participants were divided into groups to collaborate and practice the techniques learned during the sessions. This hands-on approach ensured they could immediately apply the concepts and receive feedback from peers and the instructor.

Overall, the program was a resounding success. It introduced UTM staff to the basics of photography and significantly improved their ability to produce high-quality images. This initiative by iHumEn underscores the institute’s commitment to providing its staff with valuable skills and continuous learning opportunities.
