Be it aesthetic, scientific, social, political, or commercial; photography is central to how we think about the world, communicate, and convince. This course will break down modern photography and examine the underpinnings of using a camera to extend vision. Looking at vintage and contemporary photography, we'll investigate its language and the outside considerations that went into the making of an image.
