The goal of the course is to make one comfortable with their camera so their energy is directed to the creative choices that photographers make. A range of assignments and demonstrations will improve one’s understanding of how to use a digital or film camera more effectively. Making and looking at photographs will be emphasized through weekly exercises. We will begin each class by reviewing the life and work of a significant 20th century photographer and students will be given an assignment that relates to their work. From the street to the studio, a diverse range of subjects will be explored including photographing people on the street, urban landscapes, night photography and portraiture. Students should have a film or digital camera to complete the course.

This workshop was designed for people interested in traditional black and white photography. As we go through the steps, we’ll cover camera manipulation, black and white film differences, exposure, film development and printing. You’ll understand the exposure basics using your own 35mm single lens reflex or medium format camera. Composition plays a huge role in photography; we’ll demonstrate and explain the six major rules of composition. Once we’re able to create amazing photos, we will then proceed to hand processing your black and white film all the way to make a final print in the darkroom.
