Explore the history, methods, and creative potential of medium format film photography. In this course, students will work with medium format cameras, experimenting with black-and-white and color film. Through guided instruction, they will learn film development techniques and both analog and digital printing methods. By combining traditional and experimental approaches, students will expand their photographic practice and deepen their understanding of the medium.

Light is a powerful tool for creative control. In this course, students learn to observe, measure, and manipulate light to enhance their photographic work. Through hands-on practice, they explore the interplay of natural, ambient, and artificial light sources¿including on-camera and hand-held flash¿within existing conditions. By understanding metering and light mixing techniques, students gain the skills to shape mood, depth, and atmosphere in their images. This course provides a strong foundation in lighting, equipping students with practical techniques to elevate their work with confidence and precision.

This studio course refines and expands Black and White skills learned in previous classes. It is geared towards students, who seek to deepen a conceptualized approach to b/w photographic imagery for their work. It is covering a wide gamut of analogue and digital techniques, regarding b/w images as contemporary means of artistic expression and engagement with our world. The course is designed to allow a rigorous focus on individual narratives in an advanced production pace and surrounding. The amalgamation of conceptual inquiry and aesthetic outcome is the very center of this class, seeking to synthesize meaning and making on the backdrop of the historical ballast and beauty of this field.
