Students will learn the history of photography, how to take a polished image, and how to thoughtfully critique an image. Students will learn the basics of photography (rule of thirds, composition, lighting, etc.) and how to optimize the camera they are using, whether it's an iPhone, a basic point and shoot or a DSLR. They will also learn the basics of Adobe Lightroom and post-production techniques. They will walk away with a more in-depth understanding of how photography can be used to sway perspective or tell a story. They will also finish with 1-5 prints of their edited and polished images that tell a story.

  • Students need to bring in a camera of which they already have a basic understanding. It can be an iPhone, or a DSLR, or anything in between. They would also have homework to take photographs at home, or anywhere anytime during the course. Please bring a flashdrive to take work home.

    This class counts as a special topics class in our Art League Certificate Program.

    Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
