Photographic Vision I - An introduction to photography techniques and aesthetics January 24, 2011

This course is for beginners seeking to attain a basic introduction to photography, from operating a 35 mm manual camera to black-and-white darkroom practices. Topics will include techniques for proper exposure, principles of composition, and understanding lighting. Film processing and printing will be emphasized throughout the course.

While students will learn technical skills, they are also encouraged to explore the aesthetics of photographic expression through assignments and slide lectures on contemporary and historical work.
