     The room lights up in a flash as a photographer captures their target.  Assistants make adjustments to create the perfect shot. Studio 2 is the advanced class where students learn the ways of commercial photography.  The class "teaches me what I need to know to go where I want to go in the photography world" said Britney Duggan.  Her goal after graduation is product photography.

     Strobe and continuous kits to control are used with black and white cards to help control the light.  The class learns how to set table top designs, and how to manipulate the camera in order to                                                                                                             capture the clients vision.

     Students were working on the art director assignment and final projects.  The assignment is the ability to bring an art directors drawing to life by making the pictures match perfectly.  For the final projects, they capture a series of images based off the skills learned throughout the semester.  Emily Páez said studio 2 is "most educational and interactive class I've taken.  The one I enjoy and worry about the most."

     This class represents the professional studio environment so that students are prepared for real world situations and studios.
