MPPH280 Sophomore Studio/Medium Format 6cr

This required sophomore course is the first in the progression of major studio/hybrid seminars
in photography. The course builds a base of knowledge about black and white analog
photography. Black and white darkroom techniques and fine silver gelatin printing are emphasized.
The class concentrates on the use of the medium format camera. Weekly assignments and critiques
familiarize students with contemporary photographic practice, as well as in the history
of the medium. Slide presentations and field trips are combined with principles of optics,
cameras, film, photographic chemistry, and darkroom techniques.
