Building on the skills learned in Digital Photo 1, students will strengthen technical abilities and further develop individual photographic style. It offers a continued study of photographic theory, composition, content development, digital camera/hardware handling, studio lighting, and industry standards for color management and printing techniques. Students explore photography as a visual language and expressive medium, and they observe industry practices through onsite visits to local business, galleries, and service bureaus. The course culminates with the creation and production of a professional portfolio of photographs. 

Instruction is based on the California State Standards for the Visual Arts and CTE Arts, Media and Entertainment, includes weekly shooting assignments, demonstrations, discussions and class critiques.

This course may be used for UC fine arts credit or as an elective. 

Prerequisite: Digital Photography 1 or portfolio audition
