This course will cover a variety of advanced digital techniques crucial to the medium of photography which includes digital capture, archival scanning, high quality inkjet printing (both black and white and color), and the evaluation and critique of what exhibition quality prints should look and feel like. The beginning of the semester will be focused on learning how to use the large format inkjet printers as well as Hasselblad virtual drum scanners. As the semester progresses into a hybrid in-person/remote teaching model there will be various video tutorials handed out to continue the course material asynchronously. Emphasis will be placed primarily on Photoshop and the Adobe Creative Suite, though we will use other ancillary software to achieve our final goals. 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 digital production. Upon successful completion of the course, students will have created a final portfolio of prints and digital print files that are the culmination of everything learned and demonstrates an understanding of how digital photography and its techniques integrate into the realm of fine art photography. Participation during in-class critiques, homework, labs, and on the quality of the work that you produce, both technically and conceptually, will be graded accordingly.
