About the Course
Good photography doesn't depend on film or digital capture but on your expertise and knowledge of the craft of photography.
The latest buzzword in high school senior photography is Digital. With all the advances and improvements in digital capture, more and more photographers
are focusing all of their educational efforts in learning everything digital. The art of using proper lighting and posing is taking a backseat for most of today's new photographers.
We will discuss lighting and exposure for film and how to convert to digital exposure. Most importantly, we will cover how to flatter your subjects with
the "lost art" of corrective posing and lighting.
Lastly, we will look at all the tools available to us for sales and presentation.
