The aim of Photography Lab is to provide technical and conceptual knowledge of the photographic medium, with the apprenticeship of hybrid process (analog vs. digital).
With the objective of understanding the specificity of the photographic media, students are introduced to specific technical knowledge, such as: handling of equipment and materials used in the context of the photographic record in small and medium format cameras, black and white laboratory practice, and lighting techniques.
The development of competences is made with the creation of individual and group proposals; it is valued an autonomous and critical perspective.
The technical instruction classes provide students with the competence to use the equipment and materials of the analog photographic process, as well as other primitive photographic techniques.
The use of hybrid process for reproducing photography, in distinct exercises, enhance the specificity of the photographic medium, the range of formats to record and print, the notion of positive/ negative and transparent/ opaque, as well as the elements that composed the photographic frame: perspective, depth field, plan, orientation/format, color and sequence.
The tutorial attendance allows students to identify a proper work method and to schedule the different stages of production.
- Pin-hole, cyanotype, camera less, polaroid, etc.
- Format (Large, Medium and Small).
- Viewfinder: Direct and Reflex (Mono Lenses - SLR / Dual Lens - TLR).
2. LENSES
- Focal Length.
3. APERTURE AND SHUTTER
- Scale of apertures.
- Definition of depth of field: variation factors.
- Types of shutter: leaf and focal plane.
- Range of exposure time and their proportionality.
- Definition of movement and speed.
4. FILM
- Components of film.
- Speed and sensibility.
5. LABORATORY
- Developers and revelation: components and conservation.
- Process development, washing and drying.
- Characteristics of photo papers.
- Multigrade Filters.
- Contact Proof/ Proof Test.
- Mask: Decrease and increase localized exposure.
6. LIGHT
- Incident light and reflected light.
- Lighting with flash sync.
- Control of the background tones.
- Flash meter and other accessories.
- Reflectors.
- Introduction to medium format cameras.
The course is organized in sequential practical workshops given in lab and studio, followed by theoretical classes.

The evaluation is systematic and made on the analysis of individual and group proposals presented in complement to the technological practice taught in classes.
The following factors are considered for the evaluation:
1.Acquisition, articulation and application of concepts.
2.Scientific and technological curiosity.
3.Using an appropriate conceptual and technical language.
4.Meeting deadlines in submitting proposals.
5.Attendance.
During the semester are developed three exercises. The percentage for the final evaluation is:
Proposal 1 — 25% [5/ 20 values]
Proposal 2 — 45% [9/ 20 values]
Proposal 3 — 30% [6/ 20 values]
All the work not properly monitored during its implementation will not be considered for the final evaluation.
