Documentary Photography

Catalog description

This course will introduce students to the practice and ideas of documentary photography through the completion of a project or series of related photographs. Students will be introduced to digital and analogue processes in color and B&W, and to trends and ideas in contemporary and historical documentary work. With greater skills and context in place, students will begin to put together a photographic project. They will be required to present work for critique every other week, complete a midterm presentation and project proposals, and complete the corresponding body of work self-published in published form.
