51-320 Documentary Photography & Social Interaction

4 units, Carnegie Mellon University

Documentary Photography brings awareness to issues that may be social, environmental, and/or political in man-made world, most often with the intention of bringing greater understanding to those issues. In this course, students will explore an area of their choice that focuses on how people interact in the world. This 'interaction' may range, for example, from people who know each other well as the case of students living in sororities, to strangers who find them selves using an elevator together. Students may use their own words, or their subjects' voice, in addition to images, to create an in-depth study of their topic.
