PHO 301 - Experimental Photography

The course objective is the artistic exploration of untapped possibilities of the photographic medium. Students will use digital imaging as well as the traditional black and white darkroom. Working from slides, prints, artwork, negatives or digital camera files, and sometimes without a negative at all, students will experiment with the myriad choices of visual expression and presentation through photography. Students will discuss the quality of light, the history of experimental photography and the future of the medium. Students will work with pinhole cameras, photograms, alternative emulsions, and their crossover interaction with digital to create a body of work. (3 Credits)
