Photography 11

​

​

Photography 11 is designed to further develop skills learnt in Photo 9 as they relate to the use of DSLR cameras and Adobe editing software.  The elements and principles of design as they relate to photographic composition will be emphasized. Students will be provided a greater level of autonomy and will be expected to pursue their own interests and develop an individual voice. Students will explore the significance of photography within the larger context of the art world through examination of images and personal reflection.
