A structured exploration of three major photographic disciplines — advanced portraiture, contemporary architecture, and controlled studio photography — organized into focused two-week modules. The program is bookended by an introductory session establishing shared technical foundations and a final session dedicated to critique and post-production techniques. Students will develop a cohesive body of work while gaining repeatable methods for lighting, composition, and image finishing across varied subject matter.
