L2 Photography

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms H. Kim.

This course builds on digital and conceptual skills that have been developed in Level 1 Art and Level 1 Digital Art. Students will develop technical skills on how to operate a digital SLR Camera, set-up for photoshoots, operate studio lighting, and refine imagery using post-production techniques in Adobe software. Students will select their own theme to guide their portfolio of work throughout the year. A conceptual approach is encouraged to stimulate 'out-of-the-box' thinking and experimental photography approaches. Students will also look to both traditional and contemporary photographers’ ideas to inspire their own artworks.
