In a state-of-the art digital photography lab/studio, students use the latest digital cameras on both the PC and Mac platform. Students will photograph people, places, and objects and will prepare these images with the intent of professional publication using software such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat. The course allows the students to see dynamic results in real time and to print their work on professional level color printers. Topics include image composition, digital editing, studio and location lighting, file formats, file maintenance and storage, and print production. Students will relate these skills to the current business and art practices of the modern commercial photographic industry.
