This course focuses on essential tools and techniques for communicating an effective and compelling narrative through photography.

Course assignments will provide practical experience in defining a personal point of view, effective pre-production and planning, creative set styling, lighting for dramatic effect, dynamic interactions with subjects, and professional digital image workflows.
