60-281 Intermediate Digital Photography

10 units, Carnegie Mellon University

Formed around a series of workshops, this course will explore digital and analog image-making processes, using both old and new methodologies, at times combined, yielding a unique experience. Basic techniques will be reviewed but the course quickly progresses to subjects of image and exposure optimization and workflow refinement in post-production. Topics that will be covered include trends in contemporary photography, professional practices, project development, narrative and serial work, and print presentation. Students will be expected to conceive and develop their own self-directed projects throughout the semester. Using newly found skills, students will produce complex, fine art imagery anchored in personal aesthetics. A lab fee is charged for this course.
