Description:

3 credits Prerequisite: PGY 2201C. This course is designed to enable students to evolve individually and as a group toward the understanding and creative utilization of visual technology. The program takes an interdisciplinary approach to experimental application of new technologies associated with photography and its impact on the culture, visual expression, and communications in the world today. Students will examine visual perspective by the ability to control the photographic image through the use of large format camera equipment. Students will examine the inherent optical distortion associated with human perception and camera lenses. Students will explore the various methods of correcting for optical distortions. Students will study the advantages of large format photography compared to conventional smaller cameras. The students will learn the diversity of controls and techniques which accompany larger formats. The emphasis will be a "hands-on" approach working with other students in an equipped photographic studio and laboratory designed to provide an environment for creative activity which reflects the inherent flexibility of medium and large format photography and how this application has expanded the visual syntax in all forms of expression. 92 contact hours.
