Certificate Description

Whether you aspire to work as a commercial photographer, create art, or simply enhance your practice, this certificate program explores how to visualize the world as a photographer. You will use the fundamentals of photography to improve your ability to take and share pictures. In addition, you will learn how to control the camera, the process, and the lighting in order to get the results you desire. Throughout this program, you will learn how to create photographs that affect people, make them think, gain their interest, and touch their emotions. You will also create a photographic project that demonstrates your skills and can stand on its own as a portfolio, exhibition, job, or assignment. Lastly, you will learn how to effectively manage the commercial business elements of the photography profession.

In order to be successful in this program, you will need a digital camera. We recommend you have a Digital SLR camera (or mirrorless camera with a standard zoom lens) or a digital camera that allows for manual focus, aperture, and shutter adjustments.
