The course will extend an awareness of digital camera creative controls, digital image enhancements, adjustments and processing for digital photography towards a professional digital photography work flow.
Through an individual project and logbook work, students will explore their own personal photographic visual language and how concepts, ideas, and mood, can be communicated through photography.

This could include a short themed photographic series for exhibition, a themed photo-book project or a professional photography portfolio.
