  This tutorial is an introduction to High-Contrast Imaging, a technique that
enables astronomers to isolate light from faint planets and/or circumstellar
disks that would otherwise be lost amidst the light of their host stars.
Although technically challenging, high-contrast imaging allows for direct
characterization of the properties of detected circumstellar sources. The
intent of the article is to provide newcomers to the field a general overview
of the terminology, observational considerations, data reduction strategies,
and analysis techniques high-contrast imagers employ to identify, vet, and
characterize planet and disk candidates.
