PHOT 2108 - Intermediate Experimental Photography

6.0 Credits

Students continue the process-related image-making techniques introduced in Basic Experimental Photography (PHOT 1108). Students learn to combine modern technology with historical photographic processes. Students use computerized equipment to create or modify a camera for use with plates or papers with hand applied photographic emulsions. These processes are developed further with increased attention on perfecting and repeating processes with the outcome of students sharing their work through a suite of prints. Students produce work that demonstrates technical proficiency, image content and conceptualization.
