Welcome to the beginning of your ROP Digital Photography Class. This course will focus on using digital photography equipment, how to shoot and compose photographs, digital manipulation and photo technique, and using photography as a creative medium for art and editorial interpretation. Students will begin with photoshop basics, camera basics, lighting, effects and move on to more complicated techniques. ROP stands for Regional Occupational Program, which means we also study and develop the skills you will need to find employment in today's competitive job market as well. Your instructor, Seth Wilson has been working in the creative industry since 1996 and continues to develop world class motion graphics and design as an independent contractor.
Syllabus: All students will be given a syllabus, this must be reviewed with a parent or guardian and signed and returned asap.
Materials: I highly suggest that each student have a USB thumbdrive of at least 4GB capacity for
transferring files and storing artwork. Students may use their own cameras and photo equipment if they wish as we have a limited number of cameras. I also request that each student has a notebook for use during class, taking notes on operational procedures, lectures, videos, etc... is crucial. Students are often asked to write short response papers, write proposals or sketch ideas. Sketching, exploration and brain-storming skills are crucial to the creative process.
