Fundamental visual art principles constitute the basis of effective visual communication. The hands-on course explores these fundamentals while applying the creative approaches unique to digital photography. Students learn how to use advanced digital cameras, archive their images and create online portfolios. In addition, students will develop a framework to analyze and evaluate photographs, whether created by themselves or others.
For their final portfolios, students used window light to take cultural portraits, froze and blurred motion, used maximum and shallow depth of field, explored self-portraiture, creatively employed shadows and captured emotion. Take a look:
