3 Credit(s)

This is a studio format course focusing on the basic processes and procedures of creating imagery through the usage of cameras and new technology, as well as other devices. The course will explore the digital toolbox as a means for photographic input, output, and basic image manipulation. There will be a strong emphasis on ideas, concepts, and creativity as relevant to new technology, as a vehicle for expression. Fundamental computer skills are required. The course utilizes the Apple Mac OS platform. Students will be responsible for their own DSLR camera with RAW capabilities as well as other supplies. Coursework revolves around a non-destructive, archival DNG workflow, utilizing RAW capture. Your phone camera, although handy, is alone not enough to understand the concepts and complete the assignments at hand. The cost of course supplies may exceed $200 not including your camera. This is not a software seminar or an Adobe Photoshop course. This course is about bringing your ideas to life through the digital photographic toolbox. Most importantly…this is a course in seeing.
