Photographic Technology 2 - Arata Kikkawa
Arata will be taking the entire 1st year group for a 'theory' class. There will be an emphasis on breaking down the DSLR camera (not literally however), your assignment in 1st semester was effectively your research for this topic. You'll also look at how the various types of electronic flash gear/kits work, close-up theory and some close collaboration with Geoff's class.
Photographic Practice 2 - Location Work - Belinda Pratten
Belinda will take the entire group for this topic. She will be showing you how to use flash on location and getting you to explore social documentary work through a range of field trips. You'll also be doing a real job for Communities @ Work where shots will be purchased for publication and inclusion on their website.
Photographic Practice 2 - Studio Work - Julian Stevenson
I will be running two small studio groups, you'll learn how to use studio flash in the production of portraits and small product work typically for advertising purposes.
Digital Imaging (Advanced) - Geoff Woolfenden
Geoff will be expanding your use of Photoshop and introducing you to Lightroom, workflow, archiving and printing requirements. There will be lots to learn in this subject since this has replaced 'olde worlde' photography.
Presentation Methods - Reflective Folio - Silvia Velez
This will be an opportunity to produce work that is not commercial in nature but is a response to ideas, experiences, other art-forms and by nature is more 'conceptually driven'.
Visual Culture (History) - Silvia Velez
Silvia will be taking you on a journey through the history of photography with more emphasis on the image than the 'gear'. Lots of discussions and gallery visits.
