Photography: Digital

Digital imaging technologies have profoundly transformed our understanding of photography, art, and communication. This studio focuses on the capabilities and applications of these new technologies, which allow artists to envision previously impossible realities. Using images gathered on field trips, students create a series of concept-based artworks while exploring the mechanics, aesthetics, and ethics of digital imaging.

They receive comprehensive instruction in all elements of digital photography, including scanning, fine ink-jet printing in color and black and white, color management, digital color theory, photomontage techniques, and the Adobe computer applications Photoshop, Bridge, and Camera Raw.

Participants must bring a 35-millimeter single-lens reflex (SLR) camera, with its manual, to the first class meeting and are encouraged to bring other film cameras they may have. One student per computer.

Photography: Digital is an all-day studio.
