Material Requirement(s):

Students are required to bring their own DSLR or mirrorless camera. While we are conducting virtual classes, it is required for students to have access to speed lights and / or flash rings.

Important Program Note(s):

Courses within this program will require you to take photos and upload them as jpg files to Sheridan’s online Learning Management System (SLATE). For students who are unfamiliar with jpg files, it is recommended that you read up about the built-in image editing software in your computer. With your computer’s software, you can cut, crop, save or export a photo in jpg format using this built-in image editing program. The default software is called MS Paint for Windows and Preview or Photos for Mac. Both Mac and PC will allow you to copy an image from its source, that is, your camera's SD card (a flash memory card), paste it into the editor, crop it, resize it, save or export it. It is highly recommended that students get acquainted with their computer’s editing software before they start a course.
