Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0211 - Photography Workshop I: The Art of Monochrome

This offering of Photography Workshop I will introduce students to current practices in monochrome photography. We will cover all the basics of camera skills, framing and composition, working with ambient and artificial lighting, editing, printing, and sequencing photographic series. Students will choose to work with 35mm analog cameras or their digital counterparts to complete their assignments and projects. Labs will cover analog and digital workflows limited to monochrome applications. In tandem with these technical approaches, we will examine historic and contemporary photographic practices and photographers. Through readings, discussions, and critiques, students will learn how to critically read and interpret photographs while developing meaningful photographic work. We will also explore themes revolving around concepts of time and motion.

Lab fee: $65. Students in this course should expect to spend 5 to 8 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time.
