CP 1720 - Lighting I: Fundamentals


Credits: 3

This course serves as an introduction to the language of light, the interpretation of ideas and how light is an integral tool in the making of photographs. The instructive process, as well as assignments, will clearly illustrate how hard and soft light, the placement of light, along with strong content and composition, communicates unique narratives. The use of on-camera flash, studio electronic flash, and available light will be critical areas of instruction. Upon successful completion of this course, and through the creation of a portfolio of images, students will have a clear understanding of the qualities of light and their communicative power.
