SUMMARY:
The semester program will provide students with the experience of photographing a variety of subjects and will include attention to composition and perspective. Students will develop the work they’ve taken in the school’s darkroom facility. Students will also learn about the history and future of photography as well as the skills in using computerized image manipulation. Students will have access to 35 mm cameras, and they will study their components and operation.
