This course introduces students to the principles of photography for social media and how essential it is to learn about storytelling. Students will also learn about the power of imagery and its wider impact in the digital world. While an increasing amount of people carry around a phone every day, how many really know the potential of these powerful cameras, and how to use them to create and share images that make an impact with social media audiences? The course will appeal to students majoring in communication, marketing, design, journalism, and sociology and to all students interested in learning practical skills in photography, including compositional and technical information about apps, smartphone settings, and gear. There will also be time dedicated to analyzing social media impact on data, privacy, image protection, and intellectual property. This is not a social media marketing course but is designed as a creative exploration that will help students develop their eye for exciting imagery and improve their shooting skills.
