Critical to all storytelling is multitasking in mobile journalism. To simultaneously produce write ups, take videos and photographs on your phone, when in the field. This course addresses one area of this growing industry requiement - still photography on your mobile phone. This course is divided into two parts. First is a critical appreciation segment of image histories, Professor Tisha Srivastav introduces us to several ways of looking at image and image making, both its historical hardware and software. This will be followed by a pre-midterm assignment. The second half of the semester, Professor Ranjit will teach how to correctly shoot evocative still images on your phone. This is DIY-practical. Students can expect to master the basics of photographing on the smartphone without going to the AUTO option.
