PHOT 151 – Personal Photographic Vision (Section 8613 - Lecture = Online through Canvas and Lab Instruction = On-Campus, 16-Weeks) examines the foundations of photographic seeing, thought and analysis, and the uses of analog (film) and digital photographic materials and processes, including black and white film, digital grayscale and color (film and digital). Primary focus of the course is the development of a personal photographic vision through the use of photography’s aesthetic attributes and a refined sense of technical execution and craft.

Appropriate for students with prior exposure to photography and basic photographic experience. Discussion and practice with small and medium format (film) cameras, image exposure methods, basic artificial lighting techniques, image optimization and use of the dynamic tonal range with film processing and digital imaging techniques, and photographic printing practices in both darkroom and digital environments.

The Photography Program will provide an analog film camera (35mm, medium- and/or large-format) for student use during the semester.

For digital photography work, you may use any type of lens-based, image-making device, including smart phones, digital point-and-shoot cameras, digital SLR’s as well as other specialized cameras such as a Polaroid/Instant Camera and/or GoPros to complete assignments.

This is a Hybrid (Lecture - Online and Lab - On-Campus) course. All course curriculum, including lecture materials, assignments and coursework evaluation will be delivered through Canvas and Laboratory Practice will be On-Campus.

Section 8613 is a 16-Week Session: January 31 - June 6, 2022.

The class meets for Laboratory Practice: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10:30 am - 12:20 pm.

There are no regularly scheduled Zoom Meetings.
