Learn a skill that no novice photographer should be without. This hands-on, no-nonsense course demonstrates how to use low-budget materials and basic production and postproduction techniques to make professional-looking headshots. Students will gain experience with applying inexpensive items for lighting and studio purposes, working with human subjects, image capture and evaluation, as well as sharpening, adjusting, and editing headshot images with Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop to make them pop.

Students should have at least beginner-level understanding of photography and manual exposure controls. Students will bring their own DSLR or hybrid camera with onboard flash, as well as a laptop computer with a recent version of Adobe Photoshop and Bridge (the free demo is fine!) already installed.
