This course introduces students to contemporary photography through a series of influential photo books published since 1960. The books are chosen to focus on works that can be fit broadly into the social documentary genre, stylistically they can be categorized as New Color Photography. Students will complete weekly reading and half of each class will consist of a lecture that introduces the students, while the other half will be discussions. Students are challenged to generate original readings into the works they engage in, supported by both visual and social-historical evidence. The students will produce textual responses as assignments. While the final project can be an analytical essay or a creative photography project based on a photo book of the student's choosing.
