Digital Imaging Production is an advanced course that continues to develop the ability to capture, color correct, adjust tonal levels and curves and retouch bitmapped images. In this course you will learn how digital cameras and high-end scanners capture images and how to provide optimized files. You will be exposed to professional techniques for making corrections and altering pictures to match a client’s instructions, and using software such as Adobe Photoshop on the Macintosh operating system. This course is a priority for students planning to continue for the Bachelor of Technology degree.

In this advanced class, the emphasis will be on creative problem solving with photography for the Communication Design field. The emphasis will be on using style to transform subject matter in order to communicate ideas. The first half of the semester will use still life photography to explore photographic style while the second half of the semester will focus outdoor work including street photography, urban landscape and on-location work. Students will be exposed to a wide range of contemporary photographers from a range of genres. Advanced digital darkroom, color correction, and color management procedures will be covered in addition to facilitate students’ professional-level portfolio development.
