ART 157 - Digital Photography I

Credits: 3
Lecture Hours: 2
Lab Hours: 2
The course introduces photography based on digital image reproduction. Students will create direct files using a digital camera and reproduce prints using grade inkjet printers. Emphasis is on understanding color and black and white photography as a powerful creative tool in commercial and fine art photography. No prior study of photography is required. It is highly preferable to be able to shoot in the RAW mode rather than just JPEG.
Notes: Students must have access to a suitable digital camera with manually adjustable lens openings and shutter speed settings. This course is recommended as a first photo course for students who are not planning to make photography their career or as an auxiliary course for students who have taken or will take traditional/wet photography courses.
