Street photography carries the potential to make work that is experimental, experiential and fresh, while offering the chance to push ourselves to make 'something from nothing.' Street photography can incorporate portraiture, architecture, landscape and/or still life. In this course we will discuss camera technique, lighting, composition and perspective, and grow our understanding of what street photography can be. Shooting assignments and critiques will be reinforced with readings and discussions about historical and contemporary street photography. The goals of this course are to improve visual language skills and create a portfolio of images.
NOTE: For the first session please have the following ready to share: 2-5 of your images that you love (your best successes) and 2-5 of your images that you feel are failures. Also add 2-5 examples of other street photography works that you find inspirational. Each student will have approximately 3 minutes to show this work during class time. All students with an active registration in this course will be given free access to the Adobe Creative Cloud. This course is fully online and offered through a combination of regularly scheduled sessions during the listed course hours, as well as asynchronous material that may include prerecorded lectures and media, and interactive discussions.
