| Description | In this edition of Photo I, the Fall 2024 semester will be broken
up into two thematic explorations. In the first, we will explore
the potential of the medium to act as a mirror in reflecting our
thoughts, feelings, and related states of our subjective
experience. Building off this experience, the second half of the
semester will focus on the world in which we find ourselves. This
is primarily an analog-based course with work produced for it
using a 35mm film camera and images printed in a darkroom
setting. We will cover all the basic camera functions, framing
and composition, working with ambient and artificial lighting,
darkroom printing, and sequencing photographic series. Students
may choose to work with 35mm or medium format analog cameras to
complete their projects. Later in the semester, some digital
hybrid practices will be introduced-such as scanning film and
basic editing of monochrome images in Photoshop. Technical labs
will consist mostly of analog workflows with limited digital
practice introduced late in the term. Please note, students
attend only one of the two lab sessions per week. In concert with
technical aspects, we will consider historic and contemporary
photographic practices and photographers. Through readings,
discussions, and critiques, students will learn how to critically
read and interpret photographs while producing meaningful
photographic work. Keywords: photography, 35mm, darkroom |
