Description

Course Title: Digital Photography

 

Class Description:

This hands-on digital photography course combines creative exploration with technical skill-building. Students learn camera operation, composition, lighting, and editing while working in portrait, landscape, nature, and documentary photography.

Using a DSLR or smartphone, students develop visual awareness, apply creative techniques, and refine their personal style. Through structured projects and critique, they build the confidence and skills to create purposeful images for portfolios, digital platforms, or future creative work. 

Students who have taken the course this year are welcome to enrol again next year. Select assignments may be repeated, with all course content refreshed through new projects and creative challenges.
