PH272

This studio course examines every step of the photographic workflow, encouraging students to align formal choices related to composition, exposure, editing and presentation with their conceptual intent. Using both digital SLR and medium format film cameras, students will scan film and import RAW files, using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop as processing tools. Technical instruction will focus on manual camera functions, shooting with available light, simple modifiers and fill flash, custom white balancing, retouching, post-production digital manipulations, and large format inkjet printing. Conceptual development will be emphasized and students will practice articulating ideas verbally and visually, creating coherent bodies of work based on assignments. Through readings and lectures, students will be exposed to contemporary photographic practices and theories.
