Among the many issues explored in the class are the rise of technology and social media, the plural forms of photography as art, and the many challenges of photojournalism today. World Press Photo of the Year 2014 © John Stanmeyer

Knowledge of the history of photography and of contemporary practitioners is a key factor in your success with the medium and in your ability to communicate through images. Explore the history of photography through several major contemporary trends defined by historic and current photographers. The key trends that we examine include:

Identity & Portrait
New Documentary
Conceptual and Experimental
Landscape and Metaphor
Photography for Social Change
Photojournalism and the Marketplace

Each trend is explored through a slide show, discussion, and a hands-on assignment/critique. Participants have a chance to explore contemporary trends through both dialogue and practice. Please bring an openness to discovery.
