Adjunct - Photgraphy

The New England School of Communications is looking for a part-time adjunct
faculty member to teach Photography within the BS Video/Film Production (Bangor
campus) degree program. VF 245/FA 110 Photography meets once per week in a
face to face format on the Bangor Campus. This opening is during the Fall 2024
semester (8/26/24-12/13/24) VF 245 Photography I centers on a method known as Straight Photography. This
approach grew in popularity at the beginning of the 20th Century; a variety of artists
established and strengthened the medium as an art form. Through lectures and
hands-on learning, students are provided with the basic understanding of how to
operate a still single-lens reflex camera. Other topics include lens selection, lighting,
color temperature, and the digital darkroom. Technology does not define this course.
Cameras and software function as tools just like a canvas and brush is to a painter.
Students are encouraged to develop a personal, expressive style in addition to
mastering a range of practical photographic techniques in assembling a cohesive,
meaningful, exhibition-quality portfolio. There are six projects designed to enhance
your critical thinking skills, as well as help you discover your own unique approach to
