In this class, you will "focus" on the basics of camera operation, exposure, image control, picture composition, photo enhancement, and photo manipulation. This course discusses digital and traditional film photography, design, graphic arts, and electronic communication through discussions and mock-ups. You will complete photography projects which demonstrate techniques such as portraiture, composition, landscapes, architecture, and street photography. It is STRONGLY recommended that you use a digital camera for this course to complete all required assignments. If you choose to use a cell phone for this course, you will also need to access a photo editing application that permits users to apply settings that can generally be applied within menus typical of DSLR cameras. Note:This course has an introduction to basic photography digital editing but mainly focuses on the characteristics of various forms of photographic art and techniques used to achieve such artwork. Therefore, students should be prepared to use their camera and software editing tools or plan to learn and experiment with their use on their own while completing course activities.

A digital camera is required for this course. Video Cameras are NOT suitable. A cell phone may be difficult to complete some assignments successfully, though most assignments can be met with the use of a modern smartphone camera app accompanied by a photo editing application. Ideally, the camera, or combination of camera and photo editing application, used should allow for experimentation with lighting, settings, and menu functions.
Your Camera Must Have: (a) a flash that you can control and turn on/off as needed; (b) OPTICAL zoom (the range doesn't matter as long as it can zoom); (c) macro capability; (d) USB cable or other means of transferring your photos from the camera to the computer; (e) viewfinder OR monitor screen; and (f) the ability to export photos in a .JPEG image file format.
The recommended photo editing software demonstrated in the course, Photopea, is a free, ad-supported, web-based application and does not require software downloads.
Students will require a computer device with headphones, a microphone, webcam, up-to-date Chrome Web Browser, and access to YouTube.
