Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Diane Miller.

Students must refer to these forms of photography in the extension of their own work. A refurbished photography studio is available for artificial lighting and workshops.
Students must have a digital SLR and a laptop which supports the use of Adobe Creative Cloud, and they are required to purchase the student version of Creative Cloud.
