Prospectus Master's in Photographic Studies 2009-2010 Leiden 2009

- silver processes
- non-silver processes (carbon prints, gum processes)
- photomechanical processes
- digital prints.
The study of the qualities, characteristics and expected future possibilities of recent digital
image production follows the block dealing with historic analogue procedures. In this
second block attention is devoted to all sorts of printing from digital image files (inkjet,
pigment, iris, lambda, etc.), but also to aspects of interactive digital production and their
environments (cd-rom, websites). Particularly in the field of the digital productions this has
led to radically different debates about the ‘why and how’ of the material to be conserved.
In addition, insight into the necessary hardware and software is also required, so that
material preserved digitally can in the future also be shown in the form in which it was
intended to appear.
The participation costs for students (including a copy of the reader) are: € 350,-
(considerably less expensive than for non-students). Participants can register during the
period November-December (2007). The course will be held from March through June
(2009). For an informational brochure and registration, contact the photography curator of
