How do you break into the professional world of photography? In this intermediate digital photography course, students will explore topics from photography fundamentals and post-processing to ethical imagemaking and business basics, empowering them with skills and confidence to turn their passion into a rewarding profession. This course offers a unique blend of creative exploration and skill development, providing a solid foundation for aspiring young photographers. Students will learn lighting techniques for people and products, understand the process of being hired for a job from contracts to invoices, and participate in a professional photo shoot. They will learn about various professional roles including: art directors, digital techs, photo editors, and photo assistants, and how these roles work with photographers to make compelling images and campaigns.
