    Description
    This course explores the application of film and digital photography in natural environments. From images of the "Grand Landscape" to details and abstracts drawn from nature, the class studies how light, exposure, composition, concepts of isolation and context, color theory, various camera exposure techniques, and camera-less experiments affect the final image. Students also analyze the effects of climate change on landscape photography by examining the works of global and Indigenous landscape and nature photographers and theorists, both historical and contemporary. This course is designed for photography majors and those seeking career opportunities in photography.
