Introductory digital photography drawing on the cultural richness of learning and composing photographs in a completely new environment.

Attention to composing street photography (capturing the feel of a culture and people); and landscape and architecture (capturing a sense of place) are stressed as subject matters. Photography exhibitions at world-class museums/galleries enhance exposure to the discipline and how to talk about and critically view photographs. Students photograph historical landmarks and points of interest to learn about heritage and cultural traditions of the countries visited.
