Large Format Photography:Film in a Digital Age

Course Description:

This is a studio class focusing on the use of film in an age primarily grounded in digital technology. Through the combination of learning large format camera systems, which are often used in the fields of architecture and advertisement, and film development, students will examine the historical and practical significance of working with film. Through the slowed-down workings of large format photography, students will be able to focus on composition and the integrity of the images they make instead of applying the shotgun approach often practiced in digital photography.
