Students study the history of photography and learn about key elements of the medium including composition, color theory, lighting, and digital image processing. Through hands-on assignments, students practice the visual awareness and aesthetic vocabulary necessary to plan, compose, and edit high-quality photographs. The course highlights the use of photography as a form of artistic expression and also as a medium for communication. Students must possess a digital camera, preferably with through-the-lens viewing.
