Description:

M&M is a class that gives students who have completed Meca's introductory photography classes the skill sets to produce work of higher fidelity and control than previously realized. This class is a workshop style class, which incorporates the use of the view camera, artificial lighting and digital printing skills. The class will work through a series of assignments designed to explore these three important areas of image making. Weekly critiques and demonstrations will reveal how form, content, and materials used affect how images function. Students will learn fundamental techniques associated with the 4x5 inch view camera. Once secure with the camera, students will use lighting equipment in the studio and on location. Simultaneously the class will learn film scanning, image manipulation and raster image processing software to digitally print their photographs. The last five weeks of the class will culminate to produce a series of self-directed images using all skills and equipment covered over the semester. Elective: 3 credits/semester; 6 hours/ week. Prerequisites: PH 101, and PH 102, or permission from the instructor.
