Compass Prep

Taught by a seasoned professional editorial and sports photographer, this year-long course will help students become well-rounded in photography fundamentals. The class will cover six areas of instruction: camera types and controls, exposure triangle, lighting, composition, visual storytelling, and the digital darkroom (editing and presentation). Students will receive instruction, demonstration, and examples for each lesson before being tasked with an exercise to demonstrate the principles. Students will see what makes a successful image by participating in critiques of the photos they produced for the lessons. The class will culminate with the students presenting their best images in a gallery showing. Students will need to bring their cameras every day to photography class!
