(1/2 CREDIT)

This course is based on a series of mini projects with an emphasis on basic practical photography and image manipulation skills. Students will gain an initial intro level range of techniques and processes involved in digital photography, such as manual settings, lighting and setting up a photoshoot. Students will also explore the process of editing photos on technologies such as Adobe Photoshop. Topics are designed to encourage students to cover a broad range of styles and compositions standards while allowing them to find their own style while also being exposed to the art history of photography.
