Introduction to Digital Photography for Artistic Processes
This intensive course is for anyone who wishes to start looking into the world of photography. With it, we aim to give an overview – but with specific, practical and useful content- of the process of image making within a digital environment.
The choice of a digital camera, or the basic rules of composition when shooting a picture, as well as processing techniques and digital manipulation, are some of the subjects the course deals with, and which intend to bring closer, and put into perspective, the existing complexity of digital photography.
