Overview of class

This course will introduce students to the art of photographic journalistic storytelling using the Canon 80D DSLR cameras. Emphasis will be put on using images to portray human stories - ones that surprise, break stereotypes, and capture emotion in dramatic and intimate situations. This class will also focus on basic picture editing in Lightroom and how proper picture selection enhances the total journalistic package. Students will gain an understanding of the ethical responsibility and social value of being a photojournalist. A significant portion of the class will be used for critiques, discussions, and editing of weekly assignments. By the end of the quarter, students should be proficient at using the Medill camera (80D) and all the tools needed to produce powerful images.
