Honors Analog Photography

This honors level course will go deeper into the technical, historical, and contemporary elements of analog photography and wet (traditional) darkroom processing as a form of artistic expression. Students will shoot with 35mm and medium format film cameras. They will mix photographic chemistry, develop roll film, make enlargements, and create full-sized negatives for contact processes. They will polish their understanding of art and design principles in photography, camera operation, and exposure. They will participate in constructive critiques and assess their work’s technical, aesthetic, and conceptual aspects. They will create an independent project by choosing a theme, researching contemporary photographers, and developing a photo series. They will curate and showcase their photo series in a final exhibition. Camera equipment and all necessary supplies will be provided. The course will run concurrently with the Analog Photography course. The class size is limited to six students.
