Photojournalism

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course allows students to acquire the technical and narrative mastery of the photographic tool to tell journalistic stories. A clear and well exposed photograph is not enough. It must reflect an intention, a purpose, an angle, a look. Through the study of the fundamental technical concepts as well as the narrative structure of a photojournalistic story, the deontological discussion of the photo taking, the critical reading of image making, and through the learning of the basics of digital image processing, each student will acquire, at the end of the course, the skills to create, develop and tell journalistic critical stories using photography as a means of expression.
