Photographs are a visual expression of a concept or a simple documentation of an artist's expressions. Photography explores through a technical medium the relation between the real and the artificial. In this introductory class students will learn the basics of visual storytelling through black and white photography. Through the theme of the self, students will shoot, process, and print their work that will comprise their end-of-term portfolio. Shooting a number of rolls on 35mm cameras, students will produce weekly contact sheets from which they will cull their best photographs, all of which are self-reflective in subject matter. Other work is comprised of a process book in which they brainstorm and reflect on the learning experience, mistakes, and breakthroughs. Students are expected to participate in class by critiquing the works of others and listening to critiques of their work. Students gain insight into the concept of perception, that of others and their own, and how we all make meaning from this imagery.

Is Your Father Your Best Friend:

My dad was and still is one of my best friends, he passed away almost 7 years ago but I told him everything. I still will sit and tell him what's going on and ask for advice every once in a while. I photographed the urn that my fathers in on my desk surrounded my things that are my favourite that I like to tell him about.

Greatest emotional Pain:
Losing my dad, it was really difficult because I was 11 years old and we were so close, so I photographed pictures of him along with notes that he would write me for school every morning, and I wrote him one saying, "I miss having notes in my packed lunch from you xoxo D'Ashley Heather Wilson"

Qualities I look for:

I love kids, and I like people that are good with kids, and every sunday morning from 8am to 2pm I babysit 3 children and this weekend my boyfriend came with me, so I took pictures of him with them, because it was really sweet and i got candid shots which was really fun.
