Objectives
This course follows the genealogy of the various historical processes of color photography, with the aim of giving students the know-how and technical skills to enhance their personal work, both technically and creatively. In the practical classes students will be introduced to the principles of operation and handling required to produce color photographs. The creative potentialities of the color processes will be made evident from examples of works by several authors. On completion of the course, the student should:
1) understand the basic principles of color photography;
2) improve color printing, in a chromogenic process;
3) develop their visual acuity, being able to analise color, correct and color balance their printed images;
4) have a historical perspective on the evolution of color processes and be able to glimpse their insertion in current practices.
