Digital Photo II is a highly technical and detailed class that thoroughly examines the specifics of how a digital camera works and how to get precise exposure and color rendition. For this class, your camera must be a DSLR (digital single lens reflex) with interchangeable lens and must have the ability to store images in RAW format.

You’ll embark upon a scientific journey of discovery, testing and examining how to harness the precision of a digital camera in the creative process. You’ll also learn some advanced digital editing techniques that allow you to polish and enhance your photos to achieve your desired results. There is a three part lighting assignment that introduces students to the five different qualities of light and shadow. Photo II may also include guest lectures in addition to the regular curriculum.

This class includes a weekly lab beginning the first week, so students should be prepared to attend CPC twice each week. Students will print on Epson Enhanced Matte paper in the first assignment and will progress to Epson Premium Luster paper by the final assignment.

Students who complete Digital Photo II are eligible to take Digital Photo III.
