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: 8
