Camera Clinic

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

Digital photography has radically altered how images are made, perceived, delivered, and shown. We all own cameras, and we love to take pictures, but why are so many of our pictures so dull and uninteresting? This three-hour class, which was first developed in the Camera Culture group in the MIT Media Lab, will describe four fundamental areas of digital photography: (1) understanding camera operation, (2) seeing and using natural light, (3) learning how to photograph quickly, and (4) recognizing good visual composition. All of these are necessary and important for successful image making. We will also discuss the importance of color management and the need for creating an effective digital workflow, including image organization, backup, and storage. The overall goal of the class is to enhance your ability to create high-quality digital photographs. Anyone interested in learning more about basic digital camera operation and professional shooting techniques is invited to attend. All levels of experience are welcome. Bring your camera (big or small)!
