60-254 Intermediate Studio: Photography

10 units, Carnegie Mellon University

A photograph captures a moment of time and freezes it in place. In this introductory course, students will reflect on their own lives, capturing people, places and things, through portraiture, interior space, landscape and still lifes. We will consider the formal qualities of light, composition, color, sequencing, editing and print as we take, shape and print our own digital photographs. The course will be framed by field trips, readings, discussions and presentations that look at how artists make photographs.
