Photography

Expand your understanding of the visual and technical elements of photography. The creative aspects of photography, critical to expressing your view of the world, are a vital component of this studio. Here you will be involved with considerations of composition, the choice of subject (i.e. landscape, street photography, portraits, architecture) and special effects (high-contrast photography), hand-coloring sepia toning.

These explorations will be accompanied by a strong emphasis on the technical foundation that underlies all effective photography; darkroom techniques, printing, principles of film exposure, and camera operations. Historical and contemporary photographs will be shown to give you further insight into the art of seeing. Studio time will encompass extensive darkroom work, demonstrations, and shooting assignments.
