This course will help the students become adept in the fundamentals of digital photography. Four areas of instruction will be emphasized: How cameras work, how composition works, how lighting works and how to use Photoshop as editing software. Students will be introduced through lesson disseminations and examples as well as see samples of the desired outcomes. You will be encouraged to complete assignments based upon your specific interests and have them congruent to each lesson. We will have constructive critiques and discuss areas in which your skills in this realm can be improved and honed. They will see what makes a successful photo and how to navigate through the process of altering, revising and 'improving' upon it.
