Photography techniques that help create more impact-sample photo gallery.

Exercises are designed to get the student thinking about how they can help the viewer engage with the image and understand what the photographer is trying to communicate.
During the individual classes, we covered common techniques used by many professional photographers – Basics of Photography. Each student then created images demonstrating those techniques. In the tradition of any good project-based lesson, we shared our photos and spent time critiquing the work so we could all benefit from the examples of what worked and what didn’t. Mistakes make you better.
