Class Details

This introductory level course offers an in-depth exploration of the camera and image by utilizing photographic digital technology. Emphasis is placed on the camera’s relationship to the body and constructions of identity. Students will develop a fundamental control of photographic processes through technical exercises, experimentation, and field and studio experience. Students will learn how to use DSLR cameras, editing and digital printing techniques to create a personal body of work that examines the medium’s role in representing (or not representing) identities. Additionally, lecture presentations and thorough critique will foster theoretical and visual literacy for the analysis of works. How is photography implicated in the construction and performance of identity? How does it complicate national, cultural, gender, race and sexual identity.
