We will study the history of collaborative image making while adding camera assignments, so that we may better understand the technical / aesthetic issues of photography. These include lensing, lighting, layout, file management, and image manipulation. We will further develop the skills needed to discern the quality of an image and to direct and create original photographic communications rather than using formulaic stock imagery. to discern the quality of an image and to direct and create original photographic communications rather than using formulaic stock imagery.
