Class Details

This course is an introduction to the black & white silver photographic process. Students will learn the mechanics of the analog 35mm camera, the process of developing films into negatives, and the technique of making perfect prints. By studying different approaches in the works of photographers from the early 20th century to the contemporary period (August Sanders, Walker Evans, Roy DeCarava, Duane Michals, Nan Goldin, Klavdij Sluban, etc.), students will develop their personal vision and create a portfolio related to the theme of the course, moments of intimacy. Finally, the students will experience how the ultimate step of the photographic film process, printing in the darkroom, can serve as an intimate and spiritual practice that reveals their creativity. Each student will exhibit a series of photographs along with an artist statement.
