    Description
    This course is designed for students who want to study the basic technical and conceptual approaches to contemporary photography. Traditional black-and-white photography techniques are explored, with special emphasis on the basic use of the 35 mm camera and enlarger, as well as the processing of black-and-white film and printing paper. Students are required to provide their own 35 mm camera with manual controls.
