In this sequential class to Basic Photography Part 1, students will receive reinforcement in the concepts learned from the previous class and push toward the next level of photographic expression. Emphasis will be on image capture while practicing sound technical fundamentals, including camera settings, metering techniques, and white balance selection.
While learning proper use of their camera, students will be exposed to the major genres of photography, including portraiture, landscape, still life and documentary. Students will study and be given examples of how other photographers have approached these genres. Genre-specific lectures and exercises will be administered along with weekly critique and feedback for each individual student.
The goal of the class is to have students continue mastering their Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) or Mirrorless camera with predictable and repeatable results, understand and appreciate the different genres of photography, and to begin to communicate through their photographs instead of taking snap-shots.
Open to students who own a Digital Single Lens Relfex (DSLR) or Mirrorless camera.
Students are encouraged to continue their studies by enrolling in the sequential class, Basic Photography Part 3.
Prerequisite: Basic Photography Part 1, or equivalent experience and instructor approval.
