PHT221 Digital Photography Studio

This subject builds on skills attained in prerequisite subjects by encouraging students to explore a variety of digital solutions to more complex photographic problems. The creation and enhancement of digital images is expanded in greater depth to equip students with a sound foundation for producing more sophisticated photographic projects. This is supported by significant investigation into technical and theoretical issues in areas such as colour, digital camera files and formats, digital image processing and studio lighting.
