Through demonstrations, assignments, critiques, supervised and independent lab work and looking at a broad range of photographic imagery, students will refine basic and develop new technical skills and further explore the creative/expressive side of black and white film photography. Students will review the fundamentals of exposure, development and print-making, refine camera-handling and printing techniques, use a medium format camera and hand-held light meter, experiment with flash, studio lighting and “toy” cameras. Students will be encouraged to develop a personal, expressive style in addition to mastering a range of practical photographic techniques while they assemble a cohesive, thematic, exhibition-quality portfolio. Students must purchase film, photographic paper and other supplies. Studio: 6 hours per week.
