Course Overview

This diploma develops picture-taking skills alongside a technical understanding of the camera, from the history and principles of photography through lighting, optics, and portrait techniques. Students apply these skills in architectural photography, ad/product photography, and a photo-journal mini-story project, each culminating in a portfolio exhibited to the public.

Course Modules

Covers the history of photography, camera principles (SLR, CCD/CMOS sensors), parts and modes of an SLR camera, focusing, aperture and shutter speed, ISO, angle of view and lens types, depth of field, and image capturing formats and accessories.

Covers lighting basics and properties of light, outdoor and studio lighting, three-point and portrait lighting patterns, creative lighting, optics and lens fundamentals, image sensors, and the science of image formation.

Students photograph existing architectural monuments and buildings, exploring one, two, and three-point perspective, composition, light and shadow, and silhouette techniques, culminating in a public portfolio exhibition.

Students design and produce a product marketing photography portfolio (e.g. soap, shampoo, chocolate) applying composition, lighting, and storytelling techniques, exhibited publicly on completion.

Students prepare a photo-journal of 30-40 photo stories on pre-approved themes, developing visual storytelling ("photo essay") skills, culminating in a public portfolio exhibition.
