Title	Introduction to Photography for Non-Majors
Professor	An-My Lê
Schedule	Th 1:30 pm -4:30 pm WDS

An introduction to both the techniques and aesthetics of black and white photography as a means of self-expression. Systematic instruction in darkroom techniques along with weekly criticism of individual work will provide the student with a solid basic understanding of the use of the camera as an expressive tool. The student must obtain within the first week of class: 1) a camera (35mm or 21/4") with fully adjustable f/stops and shutter speeds, 2) a hand-held reflected light exposure meter. No previous darkroom experience is required. This class is open only to Upper College students who have successfully moderated in disciplines other than Photography.

Title	Photographic Seeing
Professor	Stephen Shore
Schedule	Wed 1:00 pm -4:00 pm WDS

Beyond the material technique of photography lies a visual technique. This involves learning to see the way a camera sees; learning how a photograph, by its nature, transforms the world in front of the camera. The first half of the semester is devoted to exploring this visual grammar of photography and how it clarifies a photograph's meaning and the photographer's intent. During the second half of the semester, students pursue independent projects, putting their visual understanding into practice.

Title	Light
Professor	Larry Fink
Schedule	Mon 2:30 pm -5:30 pm WDS

Light is the co-author of image. Light can be brazen or bland. It can dramatize or simply describe. This course deals with the exploration of found light or artificially detonated light - strobe. Each week the assignments alternate between real or natural light and artificial or created light. These exercises attempt to clarify the differences and the similarities between the two kinds and how light serves the vision of the light within. In the second half of the semester each student undertakes an individual project based on what has already been experienced. Learning how to control light broadens a photographer's perception of the ambient options it offers.

Title	History of Photography
Professor	Laurie Dahlberg
Schedule	Tu Th 10:00 am - 11:20 am OLIN 102

The discovery of photography was announced in 1839, almost simultaneously by several inventors. Born of experiments in art and in science, the photographic medium combines vision and technology. It possesses a uniquely intimate relation to reality, and for this reason has many applications outside the realm of fine art, but from its inception photography has been a vehicle for artistic aspirations. This course surveys the history of photography from its earliest manifestations to the 1970s and considers photography's applications as art, science, historical record, and document, among others. It is a general introduction to the subject and is open to all students. This course is the prerequisite for most other courses in the history of photography.

Title	Photography and the Narrative
Professor	Jennifer Gage
Schedule	Tu 1:30 pm -4:30 pm WDS

A single photographic image maintains a unique position in its ability to suggest a narrative, and yet that image is never able to convey the entire story. This studio class will require a careful exploration of scenario, lighting, and mise en scene. There will be special attention paid to the photographer's ability to convey his or her vision through directorial treatment of subject. We will spend much of the class time in the studio working with the lights and getting familiar with the equipment.

Title	The View Camera
Professor	An-My Lê
Schedule	Fr 9:30 am - 12:30 pm WDS

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 explores the expressive potential of the conscious use of the camera's precise control of the image. Students are supplied with 4" x 5" camera outfits. Admission by portfolio.

Title	Advanced Photography
Professor	Larry Fink
Schedule	Tu 9:30 am - 12:30 pm WDS

To prepare the student for ongoing independent work, this course emphasizes the exploration of visual problems. At the heart of this exploration is asking good questions of oneself and one's work, seeing how other photographers and artists in other media have dealt with such questions, and "answering" the questions for oneself through individual projects.

Title	Advanced Digital Imaging
Professor	John Pilson
Schedule	Fr 1:30 pm -4:30 pm WDS

This is a course designed for students with a basic understanding of the Adobe Photoshop software application. Emphasis will be placed on exploring digital photography from both a technical and theoretical perspective. In addition to learning various advanced imaging techniques, students will be encouraged to critically examine the ways in which digital imaging effects how we make and look at photographs. Through hands on practice and in-class critique and dialogue, the class will examine a variety of issues central to photography in the digital era, such as "What is the relationship of digital photography to traditional, analog photography? To what degree has our faith in the veracity of the photographic image been altered by the seamless editing capabilities of digital photography? How have issues of authorship, ownership, and copyright been effected? How might photographers best utilize the interactive arenas of multi-media and the internet? Students will be expected to bring work to class on a weekly basis and to participate in class critiques. Open to both photo and non-photo students.
