PHOTOGRAPHY, Art 379b, The View Camera

A concentrated study of the operations required to employ stand, or view, cameras effectively. Student work is discussed in regular critiques, and, through lectures and readings, the class reviews a core photographic tradition practiced from the invention of the medium and employed in much of the most highly regarded photography being produced in this country and Europe today. Students are introduced to various methods of contact printing, including platinum printing and other alternative processes, and encouraged to employ whatever digital training they have previously had in the production of their work. Materials fee: $150. John Lehr.

Enrollment limited. Prerequisites: Art 137a or b, or Art 136a or b and the permission of the instructor, and, for those intending to photograph in color, Art 377a.
