Photography and the Environment 

Training course

$2255

The goal is to acquire and practice the tools needed to communicate ideas about complex forest ecosystem. If photo journalism is about being articulate about our world using images, and art is about expressing our inner landscape, then this course blends the two.  Students will understand the visual language of the landscape through a variety of tools, both film and digital. The class will involve exploration, demonstration, and critique. Technical skills developed will include social documentary, macro, animal, landscape, time lapse, flash, underwater, and location/studio photography as well as PhotoShop and printing. Aesthetically, there will be emphasis on the importance of personal exploration and experimentation along with technical ability to produce a complex view of our environment. Because of the small size of the class, the course is open to any level student.
