Course Description
This course introduces the most creative techniques and is an essential culmination
of the two previous core photography courses (Introduction and Intermediate). This
course teaches the photographer the ability to effectively and artistically photograph dimly
lit scenes with and without supplementing additional light. You will learn to proficiently use
the camera’s flash for practical results to outright funky creative interpretations.
Explore concepts and techniques including painting with light, long exposures, shake
and bake, dragging the shutter, multiple flash triggers, multiple exposures, sweet
light, golden light, etc.
This will be an exciting class and a natural progression of photography skills for Carolina
Classroom students who have taken the Introduction and Intermediate Photography classes.
Digital photographers with a good understanding of ISO, aperture, and shutter speed
will also benefit from this class.
