Course Details

ARTS 141: Experimental Photography

In this course we will explore the rich history of photography’s experimental development through an examination of its lineage within digital photographic processes. Our focus will be on digital experimentation and harnessing experimental creative play with photoshop and the natural world. Demonstrations will cover a wide range of digital photography techniques, highlighting the digital relationship to analog photography, photomontage, digital post-production and its connection to toning, solarization and photograms. Students will harness their own digital cameras (DSLR or smartphone) in new ways to create a visual portfolio amongst writings of their experimental investigations.
