PHOT 207 ~ Promotional Materials

When you consider creating promotional items to showcase your images there are many things to consider. You have to think about the images, the font you will use, your contact information, legibility and how all of this will look when it is assembled.

The creation of memorable promotional items is dependant on producing something that will be remembered by viewers. Your creations should be appealing to the intended audience. Appeal is created by providing clarity. This is perhaps the most important aspect of creating promotional materials. Always keep in mind that someone who likes the promo items you distribute has the potential to become a client. People who aren’t attracted to your promotional pieces may not consider your new emerging business when they need a photographer.

PHOT 201 ~ Architectural Interiors

Architectural interiors present the photographer with their own unique set of challenges. It's critical to examine any technical and artistic considerations that come into play when one sets out to create effective architectural interiors.

What are the characteristics of the space and the available lighting? Where do you establish an optimum shooting position and viewpoint to show the features of the space? Does it accentuate the lines and create a perception of depth? What supplemental lighting will be required? How do you strengthen essential principles of composition and design?

Working with large format view cameras, these are just a few of the questions to be addressed in this assignment. Here is a sampling of the results:

PHOT 201 ~ Architectural Exteriors

The first major course of the program's second year is View Camera Operation, incorporating 4 x 5 camera work on location, for a variety of assignments. This year's assignments were hampered significantly by weeks of rain at the beginning of the semester, but students were ultimately able to find the right light for a good location. Here are a few samples:
