About the Workshop: In this beginner to intermediate course, students will learn how to see light in a new way, learn the "rule of thirds" and improve camera technical skills. Through lectures, assignments and critique, students explore the practical functions of the digital camera and learn how to compose a strong and meaningful photograph. Presentations on historical and contemporary artists will introduce several genres in photography, such as portraiture, landscape, and documentary. Expand your knowledge of your camera's aperture, shutter speed and host of functions. Be willing to push yourself to the next level and learn how to capture the word around you. Please bring your camera and five or more prints to the first class.
