Hey Photo board peeps!
It's been a while since I've posted here, but some of the most knowledgable photographers I've had the privilege of chatting with are on this board so I'm coming to you guys for advice. I'm teaching high school (graphic design and a media class so far) and we are adding a photography class. This is CTE, so it's focused on skills for working professionally and not photojournalism or fine art specifically. Although personally I think both of those have their place in the commercial photographer's skill set.
My question is what aspects of the craft and industry do you feel are important to include. I have my list, beginning with camera operation and studio lighting then somehow getting to working with clients (the if you actually want to make a good living you're not always going to shoot what you want aspect). But I have so much I want to teach I'm having trouble narrowing it down.
So what would you teach?
