PHOT 1102 Basic Analog Photography

5.0-3.0-6.0

Course Description

Students are introduced to analog (film-based) photographic image-making and printing. Image capture will be done through the use of a Single Lens Reflex camera and 35mm black and white film. Students will utilize a traditional, photography darkroom in order to create a series of black and white prints from negatives they created with their cameras. Emphasis is placed on camera operation, darkroom printing, photographic composition, ability, conceptual understanding, and the overall quality of the final prints. All work is evaluated regularly in critiques. Students will be provided a 35mm SLR camera with manual aperture and shutter controls for this class.
