Photo IV

This class (for those who have successfully finished Photo 3 or reached an equivalent skill level) was especially designed to help students improve their photographic skills through careful, intentional shooting and evaluation of finished images. Students choose a self-assignment theme to guide their shooting and share with the class their printed photographs, from the first “as shot” version to the finished image. Special emphasis is placed on composition and editing as well as critiques, in which all students are expected to participate. Specific lessons on troublesome or challenging aspects of Lightroom, Photoshop, or printing are offered tailored to the specific needs of the students (e.g., printing in black and white using the printer drivers). The instructors have many years of experience preparing students for the annual Student Show in our WithInSight Gallery; this class is especially good preparation for the Show Class.
