PHO 363 - Photographic Documentary Methods

Units: 3
When Offered: Spring (even years)
This course explores documentary photography, and the expanding modes of the genre, as an artistic medium. The emphasis of this class will be on the process of conducting research and gaining access to subjects, as well as the practice of editing and sequencing imagery to produce works that weave symbolism into photographic observation. The ethics of realism, from an art historical perspective, will be addressed through critical readings. Subjectivity and the capturing of human experience, will be emphasized over reportage.
Prerequisite(s): PHO 110 or 120
