New Approaches to Documentary Photography

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

Documentary photography has been reinvigorated in recent years, intersecting with the contemporary art gallery, the book and the web as sites for documentary presentation. This course examines contemporary photographic practice through a documentary lens, introducing students to critical writing on documentary themes, approaches and issues. The course requires students to contextualize documentary photography through a discussion of course readings and to produce their own works of contemporary documentary photography.
