Stop by the SWCC library when you have a chance to see the work of SWCC's fall 2023 digital photography students.
The projects you will see hanging in the library are the digital photography students' first projects. The course meets M-TH from 8:35-9:35 a.m. The project is exploring themes such as space, time, and location. The project is influenced by painter David Hockney’s creation of the “Joiner Collage.” Hockney would take hundreds of images of a single space and collage them together to use as reference images for his painting. They themselves gained quite a bit of attention because of how time is communicated with a medium that generally only frames a single moment in time.
