Commercial Photography
 
An introduction to the history of photography into the digital age. The art of photography will be explored by focusing on composition and art elements and principles. These will then be applied through the use of pinhole cameras, film and darkroom developing, digital single-lens reflex cameras, capturing images with cell phones, professional lighting systems, and computer processing with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Portfolios and entrepreneurship discussions will conclude the year.
 
Assignments will be posted to Google Classroom Code: hmgxel

Rationale: Commercial Photography provides skills in seeing, gathering and manipulating visual images in an increasingly technological work environment.  Many occupational and professional fields require these skills.
