Introductory Photography is ideal for students who are curious about photography and want to learn more about the fundamentals of making pictures. This course will be an introduction to both the technical aspects of photography (camera settings, correct exposure, lighting, etc.) as well as artistic strategies for creating an image. We will also cover the basics of photo editing (using a free online platform) to help your pictures stand out. Along the way, you'll be introduced to historical and contemporary photographers for inspiration. A DSLR camera is suggested for this camp, but not required. Students can also use a point-and-shoot digital camera or a cell phone camera. This course will focus on how to create dynamic images no matter what kind of camera you have access to.
