Photography: Black & White

Effective images express ideas and a personal vision. Through technical and aesthetic instruction with a single-lens reflex (SLR) camera, students explore new visual possibilities and ways of seeing. They learn camera operation, principles of exposure, 35-millimeter film developing, and darkroom printing. Slide lectures demonstrate the varied roles of photography, both contemporary and historical.

Students spend half the day shooting at a wide variety of locations and the remainder of the day in the darkroom developing the images. At the end of the course they will have a portfolio of images and a set of small printed zines. Participants must bring a 35-millimeter SLR camera to the first class.

Photography: Black & White is an all-day studio.
