Photography
Curated by Martin Benjamin
This year photography students studied color digital photography using Instagram as a platform for education. They posted serious photography only, to class-dedicated accounts, to receive feedback from classmates immediately. Every day was like a mini-critique. Students in Photo1 did exercises about light, color, texture, vantage point, self-portraits, and then a final personal project about love and expression. Students in Photo 3 and 4 chose a personal project and work on it from conceptualization to finished portfolio.

The Spring 2020 term was unique. When the college closed because of Covid-19 almost everyone went home and worked remotely. In response to such an unusual time the Photography Section published this 12"x12" hardcover book as students documented their life during Coronavirus. The images in this book reflect the frightened and uncertain state of the students, and of the world at the time. We printed a limited edition of 23 numbered copies to be distributed to the students in the class, and to notables on campus.
Each participant, including Professor Martin Benjamin and Photo Lab Technician Frank Rapant has a two page spread. It can be difficult to tell where one photographer begins and the previous one ends in this pdf layout.
