Abstract: The digital era demands that every individual possess visual literacy competencies, but in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), access to technology is often limited to maintain focus on worship. The main problem at the Salafiyah Al-Furqon Islamic Boarding School in Sawangan, Magelang Regency, is the digital skills gap among 12th-grade students. This is caused by the boarding school's policy of only allowing mobile phone use during semester breaks, leaving students lacking practical multimedia skills prior to graduation. This community service activity aims to provide a solution through basic photography and videography training as a soft skill for alumni independence. The method used is a workshop that combines theoretical explanations and direct practice (experiential learning). The results of this activity show a significant increase in students' technical competency; participants are able to operate smartphone cameras with stable shooting techniques, understand the principles of visual composition (such as the rule of thirds and leading lines), and are able to perform basic video editing using mobile-based software applications. Through this training, Islamic boarding school graduates are expected to become individuals who are adaptive to technological developments and able to utilize visual media as a means of creative economics and digital da'wah after graduation.

In line with the development of the digital potential of the creative economy, the demand for quality visual content from photography and videography industry players has also increased. However, access to quality photographers and videographers is still a problem for some people. Likewise, photographers and videographers also experience difficulties in getting clients. Photographers and videographers feel that the use of social media has not been maximized in helping them get clients. In addition to these problems, these photographers and videographers also have difficulty in disseminating the events held. To overcome this problem, researchers developed a digital platform that can accommodate the interests of photography and videography service providers, as well as the community of users of these services. The digital platform developed by researchers is named the “Lensa Buana” marketplace application. The development of the Lensa Buana marketplace application uses the prototype system development method. With this application, it is hoped that photography and videography service providers can reach more consumers, while the community as consumers can easily get photography and videography services according to their needs and desired quality.

This study examines the selection of the optimal camera for the photography and videography service company Assad ID using a combination of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The rapid development of the photography industry makes choosing the right camera a crucial factor in improving the quality of service. The weighting of criteria using AHP is based on the evaluation of photography and videography experts, including technical specifications, functional features, economic aspects, comfort, and supporting services. The TOPSIS method is applied to the ranking of five alternative cameras (Sony A7 III, Canon EOS R6, Nikon Z6 II, Panasonic Lumix S5, and Fujifilm X-T4). The results of the study show that technical specifications and functionality features have the highest weight. Sony A7 III ranked first with a preference value of 0.610, followed by Canon EOS R6 (0.581), Fujifilm X-T4 (0.472), Nikon Z6 II (0.401), and Panasonic Lumix S5 (0.368). This study proves the effectiveness of the AHP-TOPSIS method in making optimal camera purchase decisions and can be a reference for similar companies in determining the investment of photography and videography equipment according to operational needs
