Teen Academy: Strengthen Your Personal Vision Through Digital Techniques

In this course for intermediate imagemakers, students will be introduced to various photo-enhancing techniques to strengthen their images and develop a body of work. Students will focus on developing their personal style and create a signature look in their work. Technical lessons will include experimenting with phone apps, Adobe Lightroom, and Adobe Photoshop. Class time will be spent engaging in photo assignments, community building activities, and visual literacy. In-class critiques will help to strengthen each photographer’s vision, aesthetic, theme, and style of their portfolio.
