Individuality is expected. Some technical quality is assumed because of past experience, but students should never hesitate to ask for review or assistance. Most students work with 35 mm single lens reflex camera. This is an advanced class, so it is assumed that basic film processing, printing, and camera controls are familiar. Most students learn to do archival printing using fiber based paper.
Many students present their completed work in archival mats.
We make photographs, look at them, discuss them, and learn from them. Students should not plan to cover too many topics. It is better to work for mastery. The final prints need to be on 11 x 14 paper or larger. Some assignments are posted as web pages.
