PART

View cameras were the first cameras and were the primary photographic tool for the first half of photography’s history. They offer unexcelled clarity, tonality, and image control. The operation of the view camera and advanced darkroom techniques are demonstrated in this course. The class, while exploring the expressive potential of the conscious use of the camera’s precise control of the image, also proposes a class-wide documentary project. After six weeks of technical and darkroom assignments, as well as being exposed to past documentary visual strategies, the whole class will be engaged in a project documenting the city of Hudson. By choosing a common subject, while allowing for individual approaches, the class will explore how a photograph communicates visual information. We will make several field trips during the semester to allow for on the spot discussions of photographic decisions. Students are supplied with 4" x 5" camera outfits. Since all of the class’s photographic work will be done in Hudson, students will need to have a means of transportation. Admission by portfolio. Prerequisite: Photography 105.

AVERY 117

Cross-listed: Art History Books have played a central role in the history of photography, from nineteenth-century albums of original photographs to the blossoming of printed collections in the twentieth. Such books as Walker Evans's American Photographs, Brassai's Paris by Night, Berenice Abbott's Changing New York, and Robert Frank's The Americans were not merely collections of pictures, but irreducible works of art. The book format supplies narrative and argument to photographs; recent scanning technology has further refined the book's ability to present the truth of photography. This course will consider such matters as format, sequence, page layout, binding, text, and cover design, over 150 years. One paper will be required at midterm, and by the end of the semester students will have made mockups of their own books, electronically or on paper, using their own photographs or found materials.
