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.

Prerequisite: Photography 101 or 103.

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.

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.

Prerequisite: Digital Imaging 1, or permission of the instructor.
