    Description
    A survey of the historical and practical aspects of photography as an art form and social document, this course provides instruction in documentary photography and photojournalism techniques and concepts. Both contemporary and historical photographers from around the world challenges each students' understanding of ethics and genre. Visual literacy is gained through image production. A portfolio including an extensive photo essay or documentary project develops students' understanding of the various technical and critical thinking skills used in this field. A 35mm single lens reflex (SLR) camera or a digital camera (dSLR or mirrorless) with manual options as well as darkroom, digital, and portfolio supplies are required. Field trips may be required.
