Through in-depth assignments and image reviews, students more deeply explore composition, lighting, lenses and flash photography. A field trip on the 5th Saturday of the session will further develop skills for real time applications. Demonstrations on basic image processing and printing techniques along with preparing photographs for online presentation will be included. Prereq: Digital Photo I or similar exp.

****This is a two-day workshop. Meetings are on Fridays, February 12 and 19 | 7 – 9 pm****

Learn the process of creating dynamic images using various light sources to paint light onto images of objects and/or people. Included are hands-on demonstrations and in-depth instruction on light painting.

Build a strong foundation in photography and take better images by understanding exposure, metering, focus, file formats, depth of field, and basic composition. Demonstrations and assignments with image reviews reinforce camera systems such as shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and their impact on the final photograph. Single-lens reflex or mirrorless cameras are recommended. The instructor is available to recommend cameras.

Learn the history of photography, influential 20th century photographers that shaped the art, ending with a live demonstration of how a print is made in our spacious darkroom.

Explore the timeless beauty of traditional, film-based black-and-white photography, including image selection, exposure and processing your own film and prints in Crealdé’s wet darkroom. This introductory course will cover basic camera controls and formats, film types, hands-on field trips, weekly assignments, print reviews and lots of fun time in the darkroom. Designed for students new to film photography and photographers who want to reconnect with this creative art form. Tuition includes lab fee, chemistry and a limited number of free loaner cameras. Basic understanding of 35mm camera controls and functions preferred.

An extension of the analog black and white introductory class, learn and practice film developing and traditional wet-chemistry printing, but with medium format negatives created with a plastic Holga or Holga-type camera. Delight in this fine art execution utilizing light leaks, vignetting, and the quirky characteristics using one of our plastic cameras, or bring your own Diana, Holga, or bakelite Lubitel!

Learn to cut your own mats. Bring your 2D art and a frame and you’ll cut windows and assemble your piece to hang in your home, or submit to exhibits.
