COMM 256 Approaches in Contemporary Photography

What exactly is a photograph? Is it light? Is it chemistry? Is it a moment of truth? Contemporary photographers use diverse strategies to challenge and question each aspect of the me-dium. Students explore a range of methods and styles from staged narratives to appropriation and conceptual ideas. Vis-iting artists and field trips to Boston's leading gallery and mu-seums complement classroom discussions. 35mm and DSLR cameras available.
