Course Objectives:	This course is a survey of the effects of light on the photographic image – angle, brightness, contrast, color temperature, and diffusion/concentration. Its main aim is show the students ways to create photographic images beyond the simple task of taking pictures.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
The students who have succeeded in this course;

1. Recognize basic aspects of light on the photographic image.

2. Develop an understanding of how to work with natural light.

3. Illustrate ability in working with studio lighting set-ups.

4. Identify the effects of existing light.

5. Develop ways to modify this light through reflecting, filtering, filling, diffusing, and cutting.

Course Content

Through the course, we will explore and seek to understand the effects of existing light: from sunlight in its many forms to the variety of man-made lights that we may come across in our image making. We will then look at ways to modify this light through reflecting, filtering, filling, diffusing, and cutting. Once we have a good understanding of how to take advantage of the light available to us, our next step will be to provide our own light into the image – through the use of camera flash, hot-lights, studio strobes, as well as combinations of light sources.
