    Description
    mirrorless style camera to complete all course objectives and assignments. Point-and-Shoot cameras are not allowed. Portfolio Development II is designed for students to develop a secondary market career portfolio for both creative and professional purposes. Students will advance their knowledge of regional markets and outlets for their styles of photography. Students will produce a complementary but completely different style of portfolio from that produced in PHOTO 280. Individual brands, presentation methods, and forums for distribution and exhibition will be emphasized for this new portfolio. Topics of discussion include: developing a personal brand, self publishing, self-promotion, marketing, displaying images on the web, and self editing. The format of the course includes lectures, guest speakers from the industry, lab time, and critique sessions.
