The Creative Practice of Photography

This course focuses on the technical, historical, and cultural aspects of Photography. Photography is more important now than it has ever been. As we begin to use and disperse photography as fluidly as we do text, it is crucial that we understand the syntax of photography. Emphasis is on creative expression, learning digital workspace, and managing print quality. Popular media, found photographs, and the life of digital images will also be investigated. Slide lectures, readings, and class discussions of student work will provide critical and conceptual understanding of contemporary art and photography.
