Figure Photography I

Introduces students to the social, artistic and photographic aspects of fine art figure studies in photography, as the human figure is one of the most studied and practiced subjects in the field of creative visual expression. Students have the opportunity to photograph the figure using professional lighting equipment and professional models. Students are expected to push the limits of their artistic and creative abilities, as well as develop technical skills used in figure and other areas of fine art photography. Professional ethics, concerns, as well as group critiques are used throughout the course. Choice of camera, either digital or film, is left up to the student. Note: This course was previously listed as ART 143.
