Studio Illustration: J371K. This semester long upper division & graduate level Class, offered each spring since 1999, focuses on the many aspects of portraiture, both in the studio & on location. Students master the use of studio equipment, lighting, medium format cameras, digital imaging, posing, groups, high & low key styles and much more. They are exposed to Master Photographer Portfolios, improve their vision and develop a personal style. In addition, business topics are discussed in depth to add to a firm foundation for the real world experience. Each student crafts a portfolio that features his or her semester-long evolution.
