This was a required 3rd year course. It was designed to explore various applications of photography that serve the needs of the scientific community. The role of scientific photography has significantly changed with the rise of digital imaging and now more than ever encompasses a wide range of contemporary services and practices. This course specifically explores the role of photography as a visual communications tool both in highly technical areas as well as some of the more eosteric problems that photographers might find. The emphasis of the course will be on the production of effective informational photographs produced as scientific data. Professional practices will be emphasized requiring the creation of visual images using the invisible spectrum, schlieren, stereo, macro, public relations, medical and biological photography amongst others. Contemporary business practices were also explored through the use of role plays. |
