ARTS 3365 Photography II: Directorial Photography
In this course students study and create photographs within the context of directorial photography. The Directorial Mode in photography, as defined by photo scholar A.D. Coleman, is that photographic approach in which the photographer acts as director to create an image that is not found ready-made in the real world, and would not have existed had the photographer not constructed/created it. Included in the course are a consideration of the history of the Directorial Mode from the beginnings of photography to the present, and a creation of directorial images. These include still life, posed portraits, photographic assemblage/construction, and tableaux. Meets 5 studio hours a week. Fee. May be taken as a CLST elective.
