Introduction to Digital Photography + Editing
Adult Multi-Week | Available
Learn what all the buttons on your digital camera do and how to develop your photographic workflow. We’ll discuss the basic functions of your camera, how to capture an image, ensure proper exposure, and create an effective composition. Weekly assignments and in-class discussions will help you troubleshoot problems and develop your creative eye. We will also learn about the basics of editing in Lightroom.
- Students should bring a digital camera with manual adjustment capacities (no phones). For storage and processing photos, students need to have access to a personal computer if they don't plan to use open studio time in the digital lab.
Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
On-site courses do not come with studio access outside of class time. Paid open studio access is available through our Studio Access Program. Please visit visarts.org for more information.
