Introduction to Digital Photography + Editing

Learn what all the buttons on your digital camera do and how to develop your photographic workflow. We’ll discuss the basic functions of your camera, how to capture an image, ensure proper exposure, and create an effective composition. Weekly assignments and in-class discussions will help you troubleshoot problems and develop your creative eye. We will also learn about the basics of editing in Lightroom.

Special Notes

• Students should bring a digital camera with manual adjustment capacities (no phones). For storage and processing photos, students need to have access to a personal computer if they don't plan to use open studio time in the digital lab.
