The Photographic Book

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This is an advanced class for both film and digital photography students to continue shooting and printing their creative work in order to compile a portfolio that can be used to apply for internships, jobs, or graduate school. Projects include the portrayal of a city (Washington DC and/or other), event documentation (the documentation of street events, political protests, rock concerts, etc.), a book-making project that can be printed and bound in-house or sent out to companies like Blurb, and mini-projects to learn how to use advanced Photoshop compositing and editing techniques. Projects can be developed on film or digital format and printed as gelatin silver and/or digital prints. As students produce work the prints are inserted into a hard copy portfolio or added to a website. The primary software packages you will use are Adobe Photoshop and Bridge and/or Adobe Lightroom. Pre-requisites or permission by the instructor. Must attend the first class or lose the place.
