Course Catalog Description:
Take control of your photographs and moving images. This class is about creating photographs vs. simply taking pictures of what you observe. Students will learn to use flash and continuous light sources to shape the content and feeling of your work, to create worlds, characters, and stories. You will have access to the well-equipped lighting studio and a variety of studio and location lighting equipment for check out. Some projects will be specific to still photography, but you will have the option of working with video in others. You will learn principles of lighting that apply to all media. In addition to lighting, the use of props, sets, costumes and digital manipulation will be explored in a series of student projects. You will learn to control and use light creatively in the studio and on location, in table-top setups, portraits and large-scale outdoor productions. The class will look at contemporary and historic artists in all genres who work with the constructed image. There will be a lot of hands-on skills taught in this class, but always in the service of exploring and expressing your personal vision. Prerequisite: ARTS 1701 Introduction to Photography
