Photography I

Photography I:

Experiences will include exploration of digital cameras using full manual mode and  photo editing using the Adobe Creative Suite. Students will develop the ability to produce quality  prints and refine their perceptual skills as they learn to use the camera and editing software as an  effective tool for creating aesthetic, technically-sound imagery.
Students must provide their own digital camera per teacher specifications for each level of  photography. A limited number of cameras will be available to check out on a per-project basis.  Please contact the department chair with camera questions.
