Requirements and materials
Basic knowledge of digital photography and Photoshop is necessary to take this course.
Regarding the essential materials, you need a camera, a computer with Camera Raw and Photoshop (or failing that, any other RAW developer/editing software), a tripod (or a way to keep the camera steady), and an artificial light source (flashlight, spotlight, lamp, reflector, etc.).
As extras, it doesn't hurt to have a separate flash from the camera (connected wirelessly or via sync cable), a focus stand or flash-attachment element, and a remote shutter.
