Beyond the Camera with Tom Maddrey

Photography is often thought of as a technical skill, but the art of photography is more than pixels, lenses, and bodies. This class will examine those non-technical aspects of the art including composition, color, nuance, light, and more. We will examine four main topics including, Light and Design, Critique, The History of our Art, and the Future of Photography. By examining each of these subjects in relation to the modern climate of photography, we can better understand the way in which our particular vision fits into the landscape of photography as a whole. The advent of social networking has opened a new frontier in the digital landscape, and the relation of this "new media" on the photographer cannot be overstated. These topics and many more will be discussed.
