THE View Camera: the Hudson Project

Stephen Shore

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

PART

Cross-listed: Studio Art This course is open to photographers and visual artists who wish to investigate the visual and conceptual possibilities of the book form. The aim of the course is to give you the opportunity to express yourself in the unique medium of the book, exploring narrative, appropriated and found imagery, structure, and text-image relationships, using such elements as page sequencing, scale and layout. We will create books using print-on-demand digital services such as Blurb (as opposed to hand-binding). Students will make a new book every other week. Demonstrations of the basics of scanning, interface with InDesign and Photoshop, and other tools will augment our regular critiques of books produced. Art-book collections, including those at CCS and the Bard Library, will be essential resources for the course. Prerequisite: One Photography or Studio Arts course. Class size: 10

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.
