This intermediate course in photography is designed to develop skills in digital photographic systems. The challenge for each student is to produce a higher level of photographic imagery based on his or her experience. This is achieved through lectures on pre-visualization, lens use, design, lighting, composition, and concept execution. All assignments are discussed weekly, providing each student with the tools necessary to improve their own images through style recognition and self-critique.

Prerequisites: Know Your Camera 1 course or equivalent. A 35mm or point-and-shoot digital camera with manual capability and knowledge of basic camera operations (e.g., f-stops, shutter speeds, and ISO/ASA settings) are required. Digitally, familiararity with basic resizing and transport of images via the internet and access to a computer with a digital image manipulation program such as Adobe Photoshop Elements, or equivalent, are also required.
