4.343 Photography and Related Media

This course provides practical instruction in fundamentals of analog and digital SLR and medium/large format camera operation, film exposure and development, black and white darkroom techniques, digital imaging, and studio lighting.

Student-initiated term projects are developed conceptually as well as technically throughout the semester and will be presented in an exhibition setting. Projects are continuously presented and discussed in a critical forum. Lectures, readings, visiting professionals, group discussions, and field trips encourage a critical awareness of the medium and of how images in our culture are produced and constructed.
