•Adobe has been updating rapidly over the past two years, so a few things may have changed. However, this guide will give you a strong foundation for exploration and play as you dive deeper into the software and discover new features.
Printing Credits - Each student will start with a $10 printing credit, providing up to 200 black and white copies or 40 color copies. Additional prints can be purchased online or at any CSN Cashier’s Office.
I recommend printing and binding the guide. I used FedEx Office Print & Ship Center to bind my book.

Introduction to your camera and making a basic exposure.
I recommend taking notes during class lectures and while watching videos this semester. Information from the videos will be included in the quizzes and final exam.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I'm here to help you succeed and learn. You can ask me in class, during office hours, or send me an email.

Here is a guide if you have never considered what a professional email should contain.
https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2015/04/16/advice-students-so-they-dont-sound-silly-emails-essay
Be sure to greet me and sign your email. I look forward to hearing from you.​​​​​​​
You will have the semester to work on the two projects below:
•The Technical Project is due at the end of class Week 15.
•The Final Project is due beginning of class Finals Week.
I am here to help, guide, and brainstorm ideas with you. Be sure to ask questions and seek assistance—don't wait until the last minute.
Assignment: The Technical Project
https://drive.google.com/file/d/164fi5VGuT62joERxOOmnItfcdvlTiClM/view?usp=sharing
Video: https://youtu.be/y844IGiuzU0
The Technical Project will be submitted as an Adobe Portfolio Gallery or Adobe Lightroom Album. You can use images from any assignment or shoot new ones to meet the project goals. All images must be taken this semester, have embedded metadata, and be photographed by you.
Assignment: Final Project/Series
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bTLF_5If8N6iK16OiPzHH6mEOyIlooGS/view?usp=sharing
Video: https://youtu.be/W78icVXX8yo
The Final Series should be created over multiple shoots, not just one. All images must be made by you during this semester and cannot be submitted for another class or project. Why multiple shoots? This approach allows you to build on your concept, grow, and enhance your ideas over time. Start early on this project to maximize its potential.
Week 2 - 1-26-2026 – 2-1-2026​​​​​​​
WEEKLY QUIZ - Cannot be made up if missed. You will find the Quiz in Canvas.
Complete in Canvas (No make-ups) Complete by 1-25-2026 11:59PM.
Quizzes are worth 4 points each and help keep you on track every week. Quiz questions are derived from classroom participation, readings, and videos. Weekly image and editing projects range from 10 to 25 points each. These projects offer hands-on, practical exploration of the tools and involve both conceptual and technical investigations. The more images you create each week, the sharper your photographic eye will become. Practice, reflection, experimentation, and investigation form the foundation for creating interesting and thought-provoking images.

There's a lot of information to cover, so I recommend printing out all assignments. Read them thoroughly, highlight key points, and review them regularly. This will help you stay organized and retain important details.

Be sure to use the Lightroom Mobile Camera in Professional Mode and explore its features. If you are using a DSLR or mirrorless camera, make sure to shoot in Manual Mode.
•If you take images at night, in the dark, or in an indoor space, you will receive a zero. Make sure to get outside into the light for your photography assignment.
__________________________________________________
What is photography? The word “photography” literally means “drawing with light”. The word was supposedly first coined by the British scientist Sir John Herschel in 1839 from the Greek words phos, (genitive: phōtós) meaning “light”, and graphê meaning “drawing or writing”
__________________________________________________
Terry Barrett's Principles:
Description – What do you see?
Focus on the factual details of the image: subject matter, color, lighting, composition, and other visual elements. Be objective.
Interpretation – What does it mean?
Consider the possible meanings or themes of the image. What story or message is being conveyed? How do the visual elements support this?
Evaluation – How effective is it?
Assess the strengths and weaknesses of the image. Does it successfully convey the intended message or concept? What could be improved?
Here is a link to Terry Barrett's Book Criticizing Photographs

For a deeper understanding of your camera’s functions and dials, take time to explore your camera manual. Familiarizing yourself with its features will enhance your ability to control your images and push your creative boundaries. All cameras work the same but the controls and menus differ from brand to brand.

Extra Credit: ISO Exploration – 5 Points
Due: Next Week
Submit your work through Canvas before the start of next week’s class.
Instructions:
1. Photograph one scene while changing your ISO settings:
• ISO: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12,800.
• If your camera has a higher ISO setting, include that as well.
2. Ensure proper exposure for each ISO setting.
3. File Naming:
• Name each file with the corresponding ISO (e.g., ISO_100, ISO_200, etc.).
4. Submission:
• Upload your image files as a Lightroom URL to the extra credit portal in Canvas under ISO Exploration.
• In the comments section, explain what you learned about ISO through this exercise.
Important Notes:
• All submissions must be made by the due date. No late extra credit will be accepted.
• Images must be submitted in the extra credit portal to receive credit.
Pro Tip: Use a tripod to keep the scene consistent and ensure proper focus for all shots. Maintaining the same composition across all ISO settings will help you better understand the impact of ISO on your images.

Extra Credit - 5pts - Due next week. Submit through canvas before the start of the next weeks class.
Make an image with a dominant foreground subject.
You want a prominent subject up front, filling the space with a middle and a background supporting the image content. This is different from a close up/macro shot where the viewers eye stays on the subject. With this concept we start with the subject then the viewers eye travels through the frame and back to the subject.
You can also use this image in your technical project.

One helpful tip: I snapped a photo of the prompt list with my phone so I always had it with me — a quick, easy way to stay on track while shooting.
The Technical Project will be submitted as an Adobe Portfolio Presentation or a Lightroom album.
We’ll go over how to use Adobe Portfolio in Week 9, but you should begin gathering your images now.
You may use work from past assignments, or create new images to fulfill the requirements.
Be sure to create a dedicated album or folder so your images are organized and easy to access when it’s time to build your final presentation.

Assignment Guide: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bTLF_5If8N6iK16OiPzHH6mEOyIlooGS/view?usp=sharing
Video Overview: https://youtu.be/W78icVXX8yo

Your Final Series must be created through multiple shoots over time, not a single session.
All images must be made this semester and cannot be reused from other classes or projects.

Why multiple shoots?
This approach gives you time to refine your ideas, build stronger visuals, and create a more compelling and cohesive body of work.

__________________________________________________
Important:
No late projects will be accepted.
Turn in your work early to avoid issues with uploads, internet, printing, or unexpected technical problems.
