A photograph is no longer just a photograph. A constructed image is a photo that has been altered through the use of digital manipulation, drawing, painting, collage or diorama to create a specific visual experience. The resulting artwork is a true hybrid that may be the most ideal realization of the artist's intention. Students in this course investigate classic themes from art history -- beauty, alienation, loss -- and reinterpret them through the combination of traditional techniques and computer-based workflow. The instructor acquaints students with advanced Photoshop techniques that enhance artistic productivity. The learning experience goes well beyond simple computer tricks and tips, as the entire class re-engages with the process of artistic creation through images that are cleverly constructed and conceptually compelling.

The best photojournalists run toward traumatic events that the general public races away from, their reward often being a single mesmerizing image that speaks to just how fragile and fleeting life can be. This lecture gives you a glimpse into the pursuit of these pictures, and the instincts one develops while following the path of crises. Crises can be fires, collisions, crimes or attacks, with differences in scale the photographer must quickly adjust to. Your presenter, a veteran newsman who has shot them all, shares his experiences in a comprehensive slideshow. Technical topics like exposure control, lighting options and camera gear recommendations are discussed, as well as the proper approach to take with emergency services personnel -- all important considerations if you find yourself running into crisis, camera in hand.

Discover how photographers manipulate natural and artificial light sources to achieve a painterly color palette and the illusion of sculptural form, not to mention sharp detail, in their work. This course covers controlling and combining light situations, as well as using the creative potential of light to interpret and define. A variety of lighting conditions and tools are explored both on location and in the studio. Lighting set-ups, the use of available light, and metering techniques are all covered.

Building on the techniques learned in Photographic Lighting I, this course further explores the art of using artificial light to transform the mundane into the magnificent. Using lighting as a form of expression, we experiment with complex lighting schemes in an effort to create more visually stimulating images. Emphasis is placed on controlling direction, quality and quantity of light as we investigate the impact of light, color and composition on the subject. Intended for photographers seeking to broaden their knowledge of artificial lighting, this course is primarily studio based and focuses on still life, architectural and portrait lighting, including a look into product photography and photographing the nude. We also learn techniques for utilizing available light, as well as on-camera flashes.

Students in this course continue their exploration of the creative potential of the digital camera, begun in Digital Photography I. The instructor reviews all aspects of manual exposure settings and camera controls, with an emphasis on shooting in challenging conditions. Students learn ways to adapt their cameras to gain control of available lighting and utilize portable strobes, as well as improvised lighting, more effectively. Large format equipment with tilt and swing options is introduced as students experiment with framing and become more confident with composition. Throughout the course, students use their editorial eye as they build a multiple image project that can be seen as a projected slide show or an artist's book.
