Digital Photography: Camera, Composition & Beyond

Do you love photography? Do you want to take your skills to a new level, making photographs that will turn heads? Explore how to get more out of your camera, from savvy handling to creative settings. Learn the principles of composition and when — and when not — to apply them.  This course will include opportunities each day to take photographs all around UW, including in the stadium, in the life sciences greenhouses and at the top of the UW Tower. You’ll share your results for feedback from your fellow students, your instructor and visiting professionals. We’ll also discuss the pursuit of photography in school and college, in contests and as a career with guest speakers from the industry.
