Class Details

This course is an introduction to the technical and conceptual elements of digital photography. Students will learn the mechanics of the camera, digital workflow, image editing and inkjet printing, all in the service of making art. A foundation in the technical aspects of digital photography will be paired with art-historical slideshows and group critiques that provide a grounding in the visual language and vocabulary of fine art photography. Throughout the course we will engage with the work of many photographers. This list includes but is not limited to: Herni Cartier-Bresson, Lisette Model, Robert Frank, Helen Levitt, Diane Arbus, Graciela Iturbide, Garry Winogrand, Carrie Mae Weems, Mark Steinmetz and LaToya Ruby Frazier. The course will culminate with each student conceiving and creating a portfolio of photographs that wields technical skill to realize personal vision.
