Course Information
What Knowledge Will I Develop?
Students will learn how to use a camera and build their understanding of image making and visual communication. This will include learning the technical skills of how to operate a digital SLR camera, the operation of studio lighting and techniques for postproduction using Adobe Suites. This course also introduces seeing, thinking and creating with a critical mind and eye to provide understanding of the construction and manipulation of photographic form and meaning. This course introduces contemporary technologies for producing photographic images. The fundamentals of using a digital single reflex camera are stressed. But the camera itself is redefined in this class by reconsidering everything from cell phones, the scanner as a camera, disposable cameras, film cameras, video cameras as legitimate tools for creating photographic images.
