By their choice of assignments, they will explore the world of photography: illustration, medical, public relations, forensic, portraiture, sports, fashion, architecture and others. These projects will expand their knowledge of lighting, posing, planning, and editing techniques. Photo 3 students will develop their own personal style and a build a professional caliber portfolio.
Students will take field notes during picture making assignments and reflect on their experiences. Students will continue to learn about past and present photographers who have shaped the field.
