PH265

This class explores multiple paths by which to generate, manipulate and interrogate photographic content and pursue the wide array of platforms on which photographic images are experienced (i.e. paper, screen, and object). The expansive definition of a camera will be investigated through the use of iPhones, scanners, video cameras, photograms, and digital negatives as tools for creating photographic images. Skills taught will include digital SLR manual camera functions, an introduction to darkroom processes, and basic Adobe Lightroom workflow. Assignments, lectures and readings will provide a comprehensive overview of the photographic image in the media and art world and will challenge students to interrogate photography as they know it.
