PHOT 206 S001: Location Photography

In this course, students will investigate a range of subjects drawn from the world outside of the school and the studio. Class participants will develop their technical abilities within the context of experience, observation, concept development and photographic expression of ideas. Through lectures, work-shops and assigned field work, students will further their awareness of a wide range of existing light situations. They will learn the skills necessary to record or modify existing light creatively using a variety of camera formats including the use of medium and/or large format. Both natural and man-made environments will be explored in order to understand the inherent problems and possibilities presented by the qualities of pure and mixed light.
