Photographic Vision Digital for Teenagers July 18, 2011

In this class we will focus on what goes into making a photograph distinct and compelling. Using whatever digital camera they have, students will create images while focusing on elements of exposure, principles of composition, lighting, and use of subject matter. Emphasis in this class is on the development of the student's self-expression and the creation of a digital portfolio.

The computer is used only to edit and minimally process images. Basic understanding of photography is not required. Basic understanding of MAC is helpful, but not required. This class takes place over eight three-hour sessions. Class time will be split between lectures, shooting, and digital lab time. Students are required to shoot assignments after class for later discussion.

Students interested in learning these techniques should have experience and feel comfortable with using Photoshop to benefit from the workshop.
