Students will learn how to make their photos visually interesting to their viewer, using techniques such as perspective, natural framing, leading lines, and avoiding tangents. 

Students will learn how to handle multiple lighting situations including the best time to shoot, and how to handle uneven lighting.  They will learn how to style and group objects together. Students will have the chance to bring items from home to photograph inside on a white poster board (creating flatlays) and outside styled on a stool/small table.
