Helps the student who has basic darkroom and exposure/development skills further their understanding of the principles and techniques of black and white photography. Assignments will focus on both technical and aesthetic concerns. Class topics include still life composition, the use of fiber paper, toning, studio lighting, portraiture, street photography, photojournalism, medium format film, and low light photography. In-class critiques provide feedback on students’ work. Students should expect to provide their own 35mm film camera with full manual controls and be able to independently operate studio lighting equipment. A $20 fee will be assessed for all students in this course to cover the cost and disposal of chemicals used in class. (Prerequisite: VRTS 130C with a grade of C or higher)
