60-113 Darkroom to Digital Photography

5 units, Carnegie Mellon University

Formed around a series of workshops, this course will integrate digital and analog photography together to help students develop a unique image making practice. Students will use darkroom techniques and analog cameras with digitally enabled capture devices to merge long-standing photographic traditions with contemporary approaches. Basic techniques will be reviewed but the course will quickly progress. Course highlights include, but aren't limited to: film scanning, Photoshop with film in mind, using analog cameras with digital capture devices, and exploring the distinctions between analog and digital output. Knowledge of basic camera principals recommended but not required. A lab fee is charged for this course.
