Overview of class

The Camera Extended will investigate the language of camera-based optics in both conceptual and practical terms, exploring vision through various devices and techniques that play with a range of control and chance. The course begins with students making darkroom prints via the pinhole box and precision view camera, continues with digital color output, and ends with an array of optical variations. Emphasis will be on the choice of instrument for idea-based work. Coursework includes shooting assignments, readings, discussions, short essays, and a final project and paper.

Course costs will vary with self-directed student projects.
