Darkroom Photography (ARTS 1810) is an introduction to the basics of the craft and aesthetics of black and white photography. Students learn how to operate a 35mm camera, expose and develop film, and make prints from negatives. Students also learn how to see photographically by using frame and vantage point to define and compose a subject and how to control light, contrast, depth of field, and motion in photographs. These skills provide the student with the vocabulary and knowledge to create, discuss, and understand the meaning of photographic imagery. The resulting portfolio consists of black and white photographs representing the synthesis of light, form, and content.
