Welcome Back

Introduction: In this class you will learn much about how to see from a different perspective, how to improve your ability to take photos and how to edit photos in Photoshop. There is much to know in the field of Photography and I am a learner as much as a teacher. In fact, we can learn much from each other. This class will allow a fair bit of freedom, but with this freedom comes responsibility. If it becomes evident to me that you are not using your time wisely taking photos, privileges will be restricted to taking photos in the classroom only.

Requirements for success in this course:

• a positive attitude and a willingness to learn and push beyond the level you are at
• your own SD card /card reader,charger cables if you are using your phone to upload photos and you should  bring to class on a regular basis
• a willingness to take a school camera home occasionally or use your family's camera on the weekend
• to use your class time effectively and respect the freedom you have in this class
• be a good model for your peers

STUDENTS MUST HAVE THEIR OWN SD CARD AND HAVING ACCESS TO A CAMERA AT HOME WILL HELP WITH SUCCESS IN THIS CLASS

Assignment #1: Head shots/Selfie Portrait : You are to take 2 head shots of 2 different people and also put one up of yourself. These should be head and shoulders shots, edited, cropped tight. In the same album you are going to create a selfie portrait, in this image it should say something about your personality. I would like you to attempt 2 layers even if one layer is very simple.
