Description
Truth, power, ethics and the manipulation of meaning are all embedded in the medium of photography, increasingly so in the digital and online domains. This studio-based course builds on students’ skills in image analysis and encourages advanced, critical photographic image making. Web technologies, screen-based imagery and timeline methods for display and audience interaction will be investigated, along with dissemination and critique of the still and moving image. Digital composition, design and image construction, enriched by the student’s independent research lead to a portfolio of sophisticated and conceptually rich photographic work.
