The book has been a form to share photographs since the medium's earliest days, offering photographers a way to present their work outside of exhibitions. Developments in digital technology have democratized access to print production, leading to a proliferation of small and independent presses, and generating self-publishing opportunities for artists. In this course, students will explore a variety of book formats, focusing on the relationship between image and text, and learning about do-it-yourself methods for publishing. They will engage with and draw inspiration from historical and contemporary renditions of the photo book. The skills they acquire will be applied toward the conceptualization, design, production and distribution of their own book projects, as well as the collaborative creation of a class publication.This is an intermediate course in photography, with an ongoing emphasis on operating manual camera settings (focus, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, color temp/ white balance). Students continue to work with Adobe Lightroom as a file management system, are introduced to Adobe InDesign, and focus on the importance of photo editing/selection and sequencing. Students provide their own camera (SLR or mirrorless).

This is a mentorship class designed to expand on personal projects in photography. Students engage in professional photographic practices that prepare them to apply and expand upon the skills, methods and techniques they have learned in previous courses. They explore different themes in photography and take an in-depth look at the creative process of artists whose visions are based on the development of projects and bodies of work over an extended period of time. Students learn to refine their aesthetic over time by developing such projects of their own, which involve significant independent work and active participation in critiques, with the goal of becoming adept at presenting their ideas and building a portfolio to show their work in a professional context. Students will be provided with software and introduced to tools of support that will help them to more effectively execute their projects.

Video, criticism, and contemporary media theory investigating the time image. Students create experimental video works, addressing the integration of video with traditional art media such as sculpture and painting. Non-linearity made possible by Internet and DVD-based video. No prerequisite required.

Through film and dark room instruction, students learn to work with medium format cameras and to print on fiber-based paper. They develop an intentional and refined sense of photographic composition through a series of exercises and assignments that engage their ability to create a visual narrative both in an individual photograph and a sequence of photographs. They practice advanced level dark room techniques and extend their knowledge of aesthetics and culture through a series of case studies of contemporary photographic artists.

How can media art practices effectively interrogate our data environment? This studio course investigates systems that collect personal data, such as video and consumer databases, by turning their regulatory, contractual and legislative frameworks onto the systems themselves. Techniques include the `legal readymade', `tactical fiction', and algorithmically-driven discourse. A field trip will introduce drone mapping and choreographing. Assignments include individual projects, and class collaboration on a video that assembles our various approaches into a hybrid fiction-documentary. No prerequisites; basic video skills helpful.

This course explores contemporary practices of portrait photography, examining its history and discourse on representations of race, gender, class, and sexuality. We look at the complexities of portraiture in terms of skill sets and processes, aesthetics and styles, ideology and identity, while engaging with such dualities as private/public, professional/amateur, and traditional/innovative. At a time when pictures are being produced and disseminated in unprecedented proliferation, we look into the pursuit of constructing meaning beyond pose and persona. This is an intermediate course in photography, with an ongoing emphasis on operating manual camera settings (focus, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, color temp/ white balance). Students continue to work with Lightroom as a file management system, are introduced to Photoshop, and focus on the importance of photo editing/selection and sequencing.

Photographic portraiture has the potential to challenge perspectives, amplify voices, and drive social change. This course investigates how portraiture can be used as a tool for activism and empathy, addressing critical issues such as human rights, inequality, environmental concerns, and cultural identity. Through historical and contemporary research, students will explore how to address social justice through photography and analyze the impact of portraiture on public discourse. Focused on studio lighting, this is an intermediate course in photography, with an ongoing emphasis on operating manual camera settings (focus, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, color temp/ white balance). Students continue to work with Lightroom/Photoshop as file management systems and refine photo editing and sequencing.
