This course will cover a variety of photographic printing workflows important to the medium of photography and books. We will explore digital camera exposure, archival negative scanning, and high quality inkjet printing (both black and white and color). We will also utilize the Risograph printers to experiment with color separations as a way to understand how offset printing works. Our objective isn’t necessarily to make prints that look “correct” as much as we want them to feel right. Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom will be our primary programs, though we will use other ancillary software to achieve our final goals in file preparation. Students will also come away with a practical solution for proper file management as well as a broader understanding of the various materials available to them for photographic production. Upon successful completion of the course, students will have created a final portfolio that is the culmination of everything learned and demonstrates an understanding of how these techniques can integrate into their own studio practice.
