Photography Certificate Program

Acquire a solid understanding of digital photography

Language: English

In collaboration with UCLA Extension, Misk Art Institute is offering access to a series of foundational courses for budding Saudi photographers and photography students. 

The four-month hybrid program provides a solid foundation in the technical and visual aspects of digital photography. Photographers will learn digital image capture, editing, composition, and the fundamentals of lighting from experienced professionals who have successful careers of their own.

Learning Objectives: 

• Technology and the core principles of effective photography, including digital image capture, editing, composition, and lighting

• The technical and aesthetic backgrounds and processes that make a strong photographer

• Aperture, shutter speed, depth of field, focus, ISO, file management, basic lighting skills (including contrast, direction, color, white balance, histogram), composition, and digital imaging (including an introduction to Adobe Lightroom)

• The paradigm shifts in technology, workflow, social relevance, usage, and art. It is a goal of this program to address these shifts and be a resource to those whom use the camera in the diverse and complex ways that change the very nature of photography

Required Materials: 

• Program participants need to bring their own equipment, including a digital SLR with manual mode, and a laptop to process the images with Adobe Suite (i.e. Adobe Bridge, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, etc.) 

• Program participants must be prepared with a computer, Web-camera, and internet access for courses offered online and to retrieve course materials
