Narrative Photography Workshop: 2 - Faces

Narrative Photography Workshop from KCAI (The Kansas City Arts Institute) - Level 1

This workshop deals with staged photography.  From it you will learn to tell stories through the use of props, sets, costumes, and acting.  You will also learn to operate a digital camera.  Though this is a photography course these lessons apply to the moving image as well as the still image.

EQUIPMENT:

All that is necessary for this class is a digital camera with a manual focus setting and an adjustable shutter speed.
