Advanced Photography

Biography

This is a year-long class. 

This class is for students who want to learn more advanced photographic techniques and editing processes in both analogue and digital photography. Students use manual controls in both film and digital cameras to experiment with focus, depth of field and exposure. While using analogue process the emphasis is placed on image and print quality using the dark room. While learning the digital process students learn advanced photo editing software to edit and manipulate images. With each project, students explore classic photographic themes; light, darkness, color, still life, landscape, portraiture, composition, abstraction, texture, reflections, patterns, and many others. Students are encouraged to experiment, and are given the freedom to pursue their own personal interests and styles. Students are provided with in-class use of film and DSLR camera, lenses and software tools.
