Working with fundamental elements of photographic design, students are challenged to create compositions composed entirely of light and paper.

Students identify a photographer whose work they admire and research the technical, aesthetic, and conceptual characteristics of their work, then apply this insight to their original imagery and subject matter.

Students consider how the relationship between photographer and subject impacts the image by creating a comparative study in photographing a stranger, someone they are in a close relationship with, and a self-portrait.

Students create a visual record of their physical and psychological experience of Covid-19 and the practice of social isolation, thinking about the role photography plays in building the historical record and its ability to present the viewer with both fact and fiction.
