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).
