Overview of class

This course is designed to practically introduce students to the practice of documentary photography and photojournalism, and in the process, offer them a broader palette of options when it comes to telling their story. On successful completion of this course, students will be able to produce meaningful photographic messages, and explain the role of photographs in the outputs of both print and online media outlets. Students will need to learn how to use a Digital Single-Lens Reflex kit together with Adobe Lightroom to complete the course successfully. The course looks at a wide range of perspectives on the practical, theoretical and philosophical aspects of photography in general and documentary photography and photojournalism in particular.
