Degrees and Certificates Offered
Photography, CC
Overview
Photographers produce and preserve images that tell a story, record an event, or paint a picture. In order to do this successfully, photographers need both technical expertise and creativity. Most photographers today use digital cameras, as well as a variety of other equipment such as lenses, filters, tripods, flash attachments, and lighting equipment. When the image has been transferred to a computer, the photographer can use processing software to crop, modify, or enhance the image. Some photographers specialize in areas such as portrait, commercial, and industrial, scientific, news, or fine arts photography.
