Mastering Digital Photography

Randall Warniers

Instructor bio [+]

Originally trained in mathematics and physics, Randall Warniers was seduced away from science by the pleasures of literature, cinema, and photography. He wrote computer graphics software for several years, and then spent nearly two decades as managing editor of a research journal at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. During this time he indulged his passion for street photography, French cinema, Victorian novels, and European travel. A former student of Garry Winogrand, he is happiest when he and his Nikon camera are in hot pursuit of decisive moments. A photography instructor at the Cambridge Center since 1986, he currently teaches "Mastering Digital Photography" and "Digital Photography for the Traveler."

Digital photography has radically altered how images are made, perceived, delivered, and shown. This brave new world of digital imaging is convenient and inexpensive, but it requires many new skills that are not always easy to learn. In this course we will study the fundamentals of digital photography, including image acquisition, image manipulation, and image output, which are important for successful image making. We will also emphasize the importance of color management and the need for creating an effective workflow, including file organization, backup, and storage. The overall goal of the course is to build on each student's existing knowledge of photography and computers, and enhance each student's ability to create high-quality digital photographs. Each meeting will consist of classroom lecture, discussion, and demonstrations. Limited to 16.
