Course Description
Photographing people has existed since the invention of photography and been interpreted in a variety of interesting and thought provoking ways. This class will combine time-tested techniques with contemporary methods used in capturing formal and casual portrait photographs. We will discuss location and studio portraits that utilize both natural and artificial lighting. Participants will experience a series of demonstrations, assignments, and critiques to expand and enhance their portrait photography skills.

Participants are expected to bring their own camera and must have an intimate knowledge of its controls and exposure. Camera operations, proper exposure, and printing will not be covered in this class. Digital or 35mm film cameras are acceptable.
