COMMUNICATION WITH PHOTOGRAPHY

Catalog description

The ubiquity of the camera makes us all amateur photographers and consumers of imagery. This course is designed to examine the visual medium of photography both from a production and consumption perspective. Students will be introduced to the technical elements of digital and analog cameras to develop a clearer use of photographic "language." In addition, students will be introduced to the history of photography and discuss the socio-cultural impact of its democratization, including photography's relationship with social media. Students will produce photographic works weekly and learn to hone their ability to communicate through the visual medium. Prerequisite: Completion of an English Sequence (4 credits)
