FRIDAY LUNCH FORUM

The aim of the series is for faculty, staff, and students to meet in an informal atmosphere to debate topics and to share ideas about history, practice, theory, and new directions for architecture.
The Visual Resources Collection will be offering an introductory workshop—The Basics of Photographic Composition—on Friday, September 25, 2015 from 10am–12pm.
This single, two-hour session will focus on familiarizing participants with image composition best practices. The first part of the session will cover the basics of selective focus and depth of field and how they relate to aperture with a concentration on architecture, urban landscape, and model photography. The remaining time will be spent on a walking tour of campus to practice the techniques in the field.
