When Offered: Last offered spring 2024.
Instructor(s): L. Auerbach
Credit: 1

This course examines how the process of making photographs affects interpretation and meaning of images. We explore the differences in time and attention required by various historical and contemporary photographic practices in this hands-on survey of technologies. The semester begins with creating our own pinhole cameras and ends with camera phones, speeding up the pace and ease of image production and considering how these methodologies transform our perception of the image. Both analog and digital photography will be explored over the course of the semester, and studios will include both the darkroom and the computer lab. This class is suitable for beginners with no prior photographic experience, as well as those who want to expand their knowledge and practice of this medium.
