Overview
This unit introduces you to darkroom and studio practices associated with analogue and aspects of digital photography. It develops upon skills, knowledge and theory of photomedia and creative image production. You will develop your understanding and application of lens-based photography through the construction of photographic 'reality' and other 'manipulated' approaches. In the unit, you will develop skills in darkroom-based photography and experiment with the materiality of the photographic medium. You will have the opportunity to explore a range of printing techniques (i.e. black and white, colour and alternative processes) and mixed media. In addition, there will be engagement of studio based photography (i.e. digital and medium format cameras, tungsten and electronic studio lighting).
