Standard

Arts

Students will learn photography basics through class presentations and an accompanying ebook and will receive feedback on a photo assignment every week, finishing with a final series of images. 

We’ll talk about what makes a good photograph and how the camera is different from your eye.  We’ll also talk about the different types of photography and the different types of shots one can take as well as focal points. 

The Language of Photography

in this class we’ll discuss design elements that can be used to strengthen an image: the rule of thirds, repetition, lines, contrast, color, symmetry, and textures.  We’ll also discuss how to critique work constructively before taking a look at the assignments from Week 1. 

Elements of Design

We’ll take a look at the three elements that determine proper exposure: ISO, F-stops, and shutter speeds.   We’ll define what each is and then see how they work together.  

How a Camera Works

We’ll take a look at how photographers can direct the viewer’s eye to subject matter by using focus and depth of field and we’ll discuss what influences depth of field. 

Focus and Depth of Field

We’ll take a look at freezing motion, blurring motion, and pans and discuss how to create these effects and when and why you may want to use them.  

Motion

We’ll compare hard light versus soft light and examine key lights and fill lights.  We’ll also discuss the color of light and natural light versus artificial light.  

Lighting

In this class we’ll talk about tricks and tips for making portraits of people, pets, and inanimate objects.  

Portraiture

We’ll take a look at street photography, unposed shots, and “the decisive moment” of when to push the shutter to take the best possible photo. 

Candid Shots

We’ll examine how photographers use images to tell a story through point of view and composition.  We’ll take a look at editorial photographs and photojournalism.  

Storytelling

In this class we’ll discuss how to start creating a distinctive style as a photographer.  Students will emulate the work of a famous photographer as an exercise in developing style.  

Creating a Style

With digital it’s easy to end up with many, many shots.  Which ones should you choose to show people?  How do you manipulate the photos that you’ve taken so that they communicate the message that you intend?  We’ll take a look at how editing and image manipulation are part of the process that a photographer takes.  

Editing and Manipulation 

For the final class we’ll take a look at the final project presentations that students have created and then discuss some pointers for progressing in the different fields of photography.
