Classes Fall 2017
Consider the following classes for fall 2017. The following two classes are fabulous classes to take either as required classes for some of you or as electives especially if you are unsure about your career choices.
The Professional Practices for Fine Art Photography may be substituted for PHOT 400 if you are still on the old catalogue year. You will need to complete a waiver of prerequisite form stating in the comments that your career choices lean more towards this class and that I recommended you take the course.
Photojournalism, Media and Culture is a great course about the photo-essay and leaning all the areas of importance for students interested in documentary/photojournalisk and the relevant ethics involved. It is exciting and we talk a lot about making strong photographs with significant meaning. The prerequisite may be waived. Students on the new curriculum in the documentary tract are required to take this course. It is ONLY OFFERED FALL QUARTERS.
PHOT 403 Professional Practices for Fine Art Photography, Providing students with a comprehensive introduction to accepted practices in the marketing of fine art photography, this course takes a multifaceted approach to professional art business concerns. Course topics include how to approach galleries, portfolio-reviewing events, legal considerations, collectors, museum practices, portfolio preparation and self-promotion.

Fall 2017 Take PHOT 337 Photojournalism, Media and Culture, MW 11-1:30
This course provides an opportunity for the advanced photography major who is interested in pursuing a career in visual communication to deal with the skills, theory, ethics and contemporary issues of newspaper and magazine photojournalism. Students work collaboratively and individually on a quarter-long newsworthy assignment that reflects a topic relevant to current issues in the community. Students produce a complete portfolio based on the chosen topic and present the work to the community in a final exhibition. Through the investigation and visual exploration of a story pertinent to the local or regional community, students are made more aware of the link between photojournalism, the media and culture. Prerequisite(s): PHOT 324. Questions contact Rebecca Nolan, rnolan@scad.edu

Possibilities Deux, An Exhibit of Experimental Digital Printmaking
May 23-28, 2017
Opening Reception, May 26th
6-8:30 pm
Sulfur Studios
2301 Bull Street
Savannah, GA
This exhibit marks the first of hopefully many exhibits of work produced by the adventurous student artists who elect to throw the predictability of typical digital output out the window and challenge the idea of what physical digital output might be.
This is not work that easily happens. It does not come with any guarantee of success. If anything, it defines the old adage that "experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want!" The results that you are witness to in this exhibit are dense with experience. This is not work for those who expect predictable outcomes.
What you do see here is the result of hours and hours of investigation into materials and processes that create a new vocabulary for imaging. As important as the physical pieces in this exhibit are what is more telling is the mindset that evolves from the work. The show’s title is a reference to my late mentor Jean-Pierre Sudre and my experience translating for him during visits to his studio in Lacoste with my Provence photography workshops and off-campus SCAD programs. Whenever Jean-Pierre would explain technical matters he would rarely say “and now you must do this!”. Instead he would offer “et maintenant on a plusieurs possibilités!”.
And now we have many possibilities.

My thanks to the courageous students who tackled the challenge of immersing themselves in the unpredictability of this aspect of the photographic medium with the goal of mounting this exhibit. You are very special people.
My thanks also to Lyn Bonham, Jon Horey, Carson Sanders, Steve Bliss and the remarkable faculty of the SCAD Photography Department for their help with this exhibit specifically and their excellence in general.
When you are close to something it is very easy to take it for granted.

Artist Residency
Documentary Collaboration with SCAD Alumni Atelier Ambassador, Hasani Sahlehe
 |
| ©Hasani Sahlehe |
Sahlehe's project is an exhibition experience that incorporates painting, sound design, and staging. He is in the final stages of creating 3 large scale paintings and an audio composition to accompany the pieces for this exhibition. He will also transform the exhibition space by incorporating alternative lighting and freestanding installations. He would like to have a photography student document this process. He will provide a polaroid camera and film for the student to use while this project is taking place (as this relates to his concept.) However, the student is welcome to use any additional documentary method that they would prefer.
Sahlehe requires that the student works primarily, or has familiarity with documentary work. He is extremely flexible as far as scheduling goes.
Please visit www.hasanisahlehe.com to see examples of his work.
If you are interested, please contact Hasani Sahlehe at hsahlehe@atelier.scad.edu

BEST ADVICE: “Pitch your own assignments. It’s better than waiting
around. When I first started I thought, ‘Okay, I have a degree. Editors
are going to find me and pitch this to me,’ and that didn’t happen
right away. Pitch your own ideas.”

Join Us Thursday Morning
SCAD FASH will be hosting a Facebook Live https://www.facebook.com/SCADFASH/ tour next Thursday May 4, at 9:30 a.m., featuring a tour of Omar Victor Diop's "Project Diaspora"http://www.scadfash.org/exhibitions/omar-victor-diop with the exhibition's curator Storm Van Rensburg!
The exhibition features 18 photographs that explore the often neglected, but deeply entangled historical relationships between Africa and the rest of the world, including trade, early diplomatic encounters and the legacy of slavery. Diop's works of art focus on the representation of Africans in Western and Asian art history from the 15th to the 19th centuries, as he recreates portraits of individuals who became prominent figures in their unique contexts.
SCAD student Anna Brody 2017 PDN winner!
Anna Brody (Senior, Photography BFA candidate) was named a 2017 winner in the prestigious PDN Photo Annual in the Student Work category.
http://www.shutterloveonline.com/contest_galleries/photoannual/2017/Gallery.php?ShowCase=155#155-Anna_Brody
The subject of Brody’s series “Edging, GA” is an imagined town, and through it, she ponders the concept of being in an incomplete state—to be “almost” something. She says: “Maybe that’s what I take pictures of—people and things that are also almost there, who are almost done looking.”
