Professional Practices in Photography

Catalog description

This studio course will introduce students to the working methods of professional photographers and artists. For the first half of the course, students will develop a substantial body of visual work. They will then use that work in the second half of the semester to produce portfolios across a variety of media (digital, print, web, exhibition, etc.). Throughout the process they will develop skills in constructing and completing projects, cultivate their personal vision and aesthetic tastes, explore methods of disseminating their work to larger audiences, establish time management and planning around long form projects, and acquire an understanding of the marketing, outreach and community building necessary for working artists to build and sustain a career.
