Presentation
_Understand the basic concepts of digital imaging, becoming able to process and archive them in a coherent and organised manner.
Understand the functionalities of a digital camera on a smartphone.
Acquire and develop technical skills in digital image processing.
Acquire knowledge to optimise digital workflow processes, fundamentally through Apps software (Adobe Lightroom, Snapssed, etc.).
Understand the basic principles of using artificial lighting for three-dimensional object reproduction.
The unit focuses on the photographic process, the construction and materialisation of the image in the production of visual content.
It is intended to stimulate curiosity about the materialization of the photographic image, understanding about the operation, manipulation of variables in working with different photographic printing processes, combination of media.

Objectives
Objectives
They will acquire the skills to perform a diverse range of tasks inherent to the digital photographic process.
Begin to familiarise themselves with the studio environment.
Create a low-resource home set with the aim of better understanding artificial lighting.
To understand the object in terms of its shape, material and texture
Understanding photosensitivity and knowing the photosensitive materials most used in photography: knowing how to use them correctly and safely, knowing the characteristics of the images produced, turns and the possibility of intervention.
Habit in the registration of ideas, procedures, make-up and conclusions.
Exploration of the materiality of photography: graphic object, contents, colour(s), spot(s) and localised interventions, combination of images and techniques.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
This course invests in the teaching-learning process using DIY technologies, which can be developed, made and realised without the use of sophisticated technological image reproduction systems. In fact, inventive and low-cost ways are sought that promote the execution and capture of images of high aesthetic and formal quality based on low-fi equipment.
The search for alternative workspaces to the traditional photography studio is also an important component in the procedural innovation of this discipline.
