Photo Portfolio Workshop: Digital & Gelatin Silver Lecture Only
Class #: PH402, PH404
Photography is once again in the process of re-inventing itself! In this class students will be encouraged to pursue individual investigation of personal imagery. The class will help to provide the photographer with a forum in which the development and the exchange of ideas is possible; in which we can rethink the assumptions and practices that surround the changes that have occurred, moving from the analog to the digital world. This course will cover a wide range of technical & aesthetic concerns, which will vary class to class according to the individual work presented.  Each student will photograph individual projects of their choice, which will be reviewed in a critique format. The students should be prepared to work independently, have begun to formulate a personal imagery and be prepared to meet for group discussions. Students must bring a portfolio of work to the first meeting.
