Photography - A Comprehensive Study


The book Photography, by London and Upton, the recognized reference for Certification by the Professional Photographers Association's Certification Committee, is the major course of study for this class.

This in-depth study of the technical side of photography will help you gain the knowledge that is equivalent to a semester of college. We will cover lenses, lighting, light ratios, H and D curves, color theory and much more. You will learn lighting patterns, corrective lighting and posing, depth of field and angle of view. Other topics covered will be the zone system, histograms in digital, the difference between a bit and a byte, bit depth and other elements of the digital side of photography. We will teach you the inverse square law, filter factors and bellows factor. Understanding exposure for film, chrome, and digital is a must if you are to get quality images. We will not leave out business and what it takes to run your business. Our goal is not to teach you what to do but to teach you how to do, and give you the working knowledge of photography to let you go back to your studios and become a more accomplished photographer. This weeklong class is most likely the most intense photographic learning experience that you will ever encounter.
