You're thoughtful in the way you make photographs. You invest time, energy and finances in capturing images that ideally speak your voice. But why stop there? Creatively and effectively 'packaging' your photo collections, works-in-progress, slide-shows and portfolio can spell the difference between mediocre and all that your photography can be. This course is designed to show you that difference and guide you to make editorial choices that will raise your work above the rest.
Fine Art Photography is traditionally thought of as an image captured masterfully. Think of the works of Paul Strand, Irving Penn, and Dorothea Lange. They have all made images that are rightfully placed in museums and photography history books. This course is designed to stretch the genre, along with your own talent as a photographer. The result just might be an expressively creative fine art masterpiece of your own.

Finally making the jump from film to digital? Trying to decide which new camera model to buy, but getting confused by pixel controversies and all those dials? Maybe you're new to photography altogether and need some basic 'first-steps' to get you started.

While black and white photographs were among the very first photographs taken, they are now frontier in digital photography. Digital cameras record light differently than film cameras and differently than the human eye. This digital black and white course is the first in a series of three courses designed to help digital photographers see, think and express in light and shadow, black and white. It will cover how the human eye and the camera record light and how to begin to express yourself in the scale of white, gray and black tones.
