Photography Studio II: Photo II 2023

Photography Studio II

This blog reflects the main topics covered in Photography Studio II, an intermediate course offered by the Department of Art, University of Lethbridge. Participants continue to explore and expand on the fundamentals of heliography, image formation, chemical and digital processes as these act upon receptive surfaces. Key topics in the history and practice of the medium from its inception until today are presented in weekly forums. Students discuss outcomes, solve problems and raise questions while pursuing personal creative research. Examples from their work are shown on this blog. Broadly, we consider the terms perception, depiction, communication and expression as they relate to photography by examining the relationships that photographs have with art and to visual culture.
