Photography is an art form all its own. There are many types of photography including portraiture, nature, fashion, product and macro just to name a few. Some might think they just need a camera and subject to enter any given field of photography; however, while there is a hint of truth in that, professional photographers know there is much more involved to creating excellent work. This class introduces students, first, to the camera and, next, to the art of capturing their subjects in more interesting ways. Students will learn the skills and techniques used to achieve distinct types and styles of photography while also learning correct camera use.
