PHOT 101 Photography: Camera + Vision

This course is an exploration of photography as a medium for self-expression and visual communication. Students will be challenged to hone their skills of observation to use the camera as a distinctive picture making tool and gain a greater understanding of how photographs can be used in the world. Using DSLR/DSLM cameras and cell phone cameras, students will learn to manually control shutter speed, ISO and aperture in deliberate ways to affect motion and depth of field in their photographs. Issues of composition, aesthetics and context will be introduced as students are encouraged to develop and hone their own unique photographic vision.
