This course aims to develop the student's
digital photographic skills in camera use, studio
lighting, and image processing. It focuses on: basic
camera techniques such as exposure,
white balance, ISO, shutter speed and
depth-of-field; the appropriate use of lighting like key
lights, side lights, hair lights, natural/outdoor
lighting and the use of diffusers and
reflectors; and lastly, an emphasis will be
placed on the combined use of both in-camera and
lighting techniques for achieving
specific photographic effects. Additionally, the course
introduces digital imaging processes like
color correction, sharpness, burning and dodging, and
the preparation of images for
the web and print.
