    Jennifer Brandenburg, Photographic Vision II Summer '07, Photography Classes and Workshops at Project Basho in Philadelphia PA
Jennifer Brandenburg (Photographic Vision II, Summer '07)
Description: This course is a continuation of Photographic Vision I where students will learn in greater refinement the process from shooting to finished prints. The main emphasis will be placed on understanding the interrelationship between the exposure, film processing, and printing. Students will spend most of the time in the darkroom, exploring the possibilities of darkroom practices such as the use of fiber base paper, fine-tuned contrast adjustment, extensive dodging and burning, and the different tones of papers.

Outside the darkroom, students will be challenged to produce different types of photographic expressions through short-term and long-term assignments, integrated with visual knowledge from slide lectures.

In addition to the in-class meetings, there will be occasional shooting trips and museum and gallery tours outside the class. Although these are not mandatory, students are highly encouraged to attend these extra sessions.
