Potomac High – Digital Photography 2

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This is an advanced digital photography course for students who have completed Digital Photography 1. Students will build upon their skills in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, while practicing their digital photography camera skills and techniques learned in the beginning course. The course focus will include both image capture techniques and post processing techniques in the digital lab. The projects will be both fine art and commercial art based. The students will explore studio and on location lighting techniques to enhance their photography in the fields of commercial art, advertising and product photography, portraiture, fashion, nature and landscape, photojournalism, lifestyle, documentary and fine art. They will learn and research various artists in these fields, emulating their styles, yet creating their own vision and personal style with an increase in complexity, visual metaphors and emotions, demonstrated through technically demanding projects. Hands on experience will be both independent and team based.
