PHO-416 ALTERNATIVE PROCESS PHOTOGRAPHY ALTERNATIVE PROCESS PHOTOGRAPHY
This course will explore various photographic processes that are an alternative to contemporary photographic image-making techniques. Photographic techniques used throughout the history of the medium have subtle qualities and properties that are unique in their creative possibilities. The use of precious metals to produce images is the basis for all photography prior to the introduction of digital (electronic) photography. These images created from metals are not only distinctive but extremely stable as well. Historical references and examination of the work of contemporary photographers using these techniques will accompany assignments. Pre-requisite: PHO 303 and either PHO 313 or PHO 305. (Special fee)
