Color Lab: Darkroom to Digital

Course open to Photo/Media Program only.
Color Lab is a semester-long course that provides
students with a basic background in the history,
theory, and materials of color photography.
Emphasis is placed on navigating the transitions
between traditional film-based production and
digital techniques. The coursework is designed
to provide students with an understanding of the
properties of color negative film and its inherit
characteristics, with the goal of gaining a
working knowledge of the relationships between
exposure development, principles of analog and
digital color balance, and basic procedures of
type C and archival pigment printing. Further
discussions will center on a survey of color
photography since the 1960s.
