Hudson Project

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. Class size: 12

Cross-listed: Human Rights This course will address the many purposes to which photography is and has been put, outside the realm of art. We will consider the studio portrait, the postmortem portrait, journalistic photography, scientific photography, forensic photography, “spirit” and kirlean photography, erotic photography, advertising photography, fumetti, and the many manifestations of the snapshot. We will study methods of production and reproduction – the carte de visite, the postcard, the photomat, the Polaroid – in their social and historical context. And we will discuss, among other things, how photographs change their meaning over time, how the human desire for narrative, and how they insinuate themselves into the unconscious. This course might appeal not just to photography majors, but also to students of history and of popular culture. Class size: 15
