Strong and vibrant are the "stuff" of an exceptional color photograph. Design brings an image to life, but it's color's role to either make or break it. In this course you'll learn the workings of this dynamic photographic duo and apply them to capture eye-catching images.
You're thoughtful in the way you make photographs. You invest time, energy and finances in capturing images that ideally speak your voice. But why stop there? Creatively and effectively 'packaging' your photo collections, works-in-progress, slide-shows and portfolio can spell the difference between mediocre and all that your photography can be. This course is designed to show you that difference and guide you to make editorial choices that will raise your work above the rest.
Want to improve your photography, but unsure of what to do next? This inspiring and informative course will lead you to view your photographs with a fresh eye. You'll learn how to use elements of style such as light, depth of field, composition, perspective and design to express your unique vision in powerful photographs. You'll come away with specific techniques to further develop your creative strengths and ideas for new directions to explore.
While black and white photographs were among the very first photographs taken, they are now frontier in digital photography. Digital cameras record light differently than film cameras and differently than the human eye. This digital black and white course is the first in a series of three courses designed to help digital photographers see, think and express in light and shadow, black and white. It will cover how the human eye and the camera record light and how to begin to express yourself in the scale of white, gray and black tones.
So you have the basics of digital photography down to a tee. Now it is time to take it a step further. Don’t be scared off by the jargon and technical mystique that is associated with digital photography. This course will show you just what is possible in the digital age whilst reminding you to think about your images as if you were shooting on film.
