Mastering the Art of Narrative in the Digital Realm
Sessions Student Shines in Digital Photography Program
Doug Gorham, a soon-to-be graduate of Sessions College, is making waves in the world of digital photography. After a distinguished career in the Navy, Gorham decided to pursue an Undergraduate Certificate in Digital Photography at Sessions to learn the latest technologies in post-production.
The Sessions Undergraduate Certificate in Digital Photography program equips students with essential digital photography techniques, such as composition, lighting, and post-production. The program focuses on both technical skills and artistic expression, enabling students to create compelling visual narratives and develop a professional portfolio.
Gorham's favourite course was Landscape Photography, taught by Taz Tally, where he learned about different types of landscape photography and had images selected for the Sessions Student Gallery. This practical, hands-on approach to learning has helped Gorham gain confidence in shooting various genres of photography.
During his time at Sessions, Gorham also took on volunteer work at the Vandenberg Space Force Base, covering volleyball, soccer, and other intramural sports events with his photography. His work was well-received by the military personnel stationed on base, and he even had the opportunity to photograph top athletes and trophy presentations.
Gorham's talent and enthusiasm shone through in his classwork, and he quickly mastered Lightroom Classic and Photoshop for high-quality post-production work. His portfolio showcases technical proficiency and a unique artistic vision, making it a valuable asset for any aspiring photographer or creative professional.
With his newfound skills and confidence, Gorham graduates this fall with added confidence in his work as a digital storyteller. He plans to continue learning and developing as a photographer through constant practice, travel, and shooting images for various purposes.
