Ready to take your photography to the next level? Review the basics of the digital camera functions and dive into the art of creating a photographic image. This workshop will take you beyond photography basics to explore advanced photographic techniques and strategies for creating compelling photographs. The workshop focuses on light and composition, featuring a mix of discussions, presentations, review of student images, and photo walks. Students should have consistent access to a camera for the duration of the course and are highly encouraged to spend time outside of class photographing assignments to practice the skills covered each day. Most camera styles are welcome, though a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera with an interchangeable lens is recommended to take full advantage of the techniques covered. Students should have access to an editing software like Lightroom, Bridge/Photoshop or Mac Photo applications to process and resize images and upload to a Google folder created by the instructor.
