During a variety of fun photographic sessions, you will gain a confident, working knowledge of the digital camera. Field trips and photo exercises will give you the “depth-of-field-ability” to create the desired dramatic effects in your photos.

You will master the digital camera through in class exercises including low light photography, writing with light, and effective use of motion. A special night-time field trip, and “safari” walks in the Italian Market are designed to secure your mastery of the digital camera.
