An introduction to the practice of modern digital photojournalism, this course emphasizes the techniques necessary for visual storytelling, including artistic skills (composition, lighting, narrative) and technical skills (camera use, timing, software).

A telephoto lens, wide angle lens and separate flash are recommended but not required. Software: Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Lab fee plus cost of materials. Offered alternate years.
