This course is designed for students looking to develop an advanced practice in film photography through a contemplative semester-long portfolio project. This portfolio project will help students engage in a critique of the photographic essay, a form developed largely in the 20th century through the exhibitions of western photography. Through learning to use medium and large format cameras, students will gain advanced skills in compositional control, creative focusing, and image shape. Technical topics covered in this course include: using the view cameras movements for composition (tilt, swing, shift, rise, and fall), learning medium format film development, sheet film development, advanced darkroom printing, digital scanning, and inkjet printing workflows. In addition to extending students' imaging practice, students will be exposed to historic photographs through visits to prominent photography collections and exhibitions in the Boston area.
