The balance of tension in an image is fundamental in photography. When that is achieved, well-made visual relationships are created. This course offers participants a better understanding of compositional elements and how best to apply them.

Emphasis is placed on practices that promote taking better and more distinctive photographs, including simplicity, balance, and using natural lighting conditions. Weekly lectures and assignments focus on extended shutter speeds, light graffiti, bokeh templates, and macro photography.

Students should have an understanding of basic camera operation and some experience with photography. Students provide their own cameras and work in the format of their choice.
