Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Short-Term Certificate)

  • Camera aperture and shutter speed settings — adjust under direct supervision to match basic lighting conditions in a studio or on-location shoot.
  • Tripods, filters, and flash attachments — assemble and attach following established protocols before a scheduled photography session.
  • Artificial light sources and reflectors — position according to an instructor's or senior photographer's direction to illuminate a subject.
  • Digital image files — transfer from camera to computer using standard file-management procedures at the end of each shoot.
  • Basic photo-editing software — apply preset corrections and crop photographs under guided instruction to meet client specifications.
  • Portrait subjects — pose individuals or small family groups following a prepared shot list in a studio environment.
  • Camera focus and depth of field — recognize how subject distance affects sharpness and make adjustments with oversight on straightforward assignments.
  • Color-discrimination principles — identify overexposed or underexposed areas in test shots and report findings to a supervising photographer.
  • Client communication basics — listen actively and restate shoot requirements to confirm understanding before a portrait session begins.
  • Image archiving procedures — organize and label digital photo files according to a defined naming convention for storage and retrieval.
