Light



PUPH 1020 | Fall 2011 | Faculty: Adam Ames, Andrew Bordwin, Maya Ciarrocchi, Keith Ellenbogen, Carol Fonde, Abigail Gunnels, Graham Macindoe, Colin Stearns

Light defines and makes possible all visual perception. The purpose of this course is to clearly consider how you can effectively use this as a conscious tool in the creation of your work. This semester we will be focusing specifically on how to use light to further define your ideas and concepts. This course will explore methods of seeing, understanding, managing and utilizing light and space in still photography and time based media. Students will be expected to use cell phones, point and shoot cameras and higher end video and still cameras as they explore natural light, practicals (existing light in interiors), reflectors and the use of basic hot lights, in the creation of still imagery and video. Students will work individually and in creative teams.
