This course is structured around projects designed to introduce a range of skills and technologies coupled with conceptual and thematic aspects. The course teaches in-depth studio lighting techniques, location lighting, digital photography and post production and ink-jet printing. Creative exploration and experimentation with lighting techniques is encouraged.

Workplace health and safety (WHS) instruction is an integral part of this course.
