Seminole State College will offer a digital photography course on Saturday, Oct. 23. from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Room 102 of the Enoch Kelly Haney Center. The course will break for one hour for lunch. The class will cover an introduction to photography skills, including lighting, composition, shooting in manual modes, photo correction and manipulation as well as editing for social media. This digital photography course is being offered through SSC’s Business and Industry program, which provides concentrated training on topics for entrepreneurs, those looking to strengthen a workplace skill and hobbyists.

The cost of this course is $59 and is open to all. A Digital Single-Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera or a camera with manual settings is recommended for this course but not required.

This course will be taught by photographer and SSC Web and Multimedia Coordinator Brooks Nickell. Nickell has more than ten years of experience as a photographer and has published work with various media outlets across the state.

“The aim of this course is to enhance the basic digital photography skills of all who attend,” Nickell said. “In today’s multimedia-driven world, you can capture powerful images with a DSLR camera or even a cell phone.”

The course will be divided into three parts, with the first half taking place in the classroom. The second section will be spent hands-on outside, putting newly acquired knowledge and skills into practical use if the weather permits. The final section will be spent editing photos to aid in learning entry level postproduction skills.

“This course is for anyone who wants to take their photography to next level, anyone just getting started, or those wanting to find out if digital photography is a good fit for themselves,” Nickell said.
