This course can be applied toward a program:
- Digital Photography (elective)
Studio photography gives you plenty of control over your shots, but to take advantage of that control, you need to know how to use specialized equipment and apply the correct techniques. That's where this course comes in.
In addition to learning how to set up a home studio and use three-point lighting, you'll discover how to plan for and stage a shot, how to enhance the story appeal of the photo and how to alter your approach for different situations, including family portraits, food and product photography, or even if you want to use the photo for a website or social media channels.
