Editing & Sequencing: How to Highlight Your Best Pictures

Two of the hardest yet most important skills a photographer needs to master are editing and sequencing. Choosing the best pictures and placing them in an effective and compelling order are difficult yet extremely rewarding tasks when performed properly. In this class, students explore and practice the methodologies of systematically selecting and organizing their images. Topics include the editing process, editing software tools, sequencing principals, preparing images for release, and archiving work. Students are expected to bring existing imagery to organize and edit through assignments in class, participate in class discussions, and present their work for critique. This course is limited to 12 students.

Note: It is recommended that students have access to and familiarity with the program Adobe Lightroom. To start a free trial for Lightroom, visit Adobe.com.
