After focusing on the fundamentals of digital photography, this course will improve and broaden your photography skills by refining your shooting style and expanding elements of design. Each session, we will review a different approach in photography to challenge and empower your understanding of visual aesthetics. You will learn why it is essential to add and subtract from the scene, evaluate the shot deliberately to obtain a complex composition, and, more importantly, fill up the frame with a distinguishable narrative.
