This course will emphasize the development of a personal photographic vision by deepening a students understanding of both aesthetics, technical prowess and expanding their study of image culture. Through photographic production, critiquing work, theoretical readings and a deep examination of the history of the photographic medium, students will develop both a visual literacy and artistic voice. Students are expected to produce work in series and to present a final portfolio, in addition to an extensive research project based on their photographic interests. This course requires additional work outside of class time. Students can work in any photographic medium.
