Course Description

This course is for advanced photography students and explores ways to complete challenging and thought-provoking photographic assignments. It includes photo essay/story assignments, explorative self-image assignments, forced perspective, using alternative light sources, minimalism or abstract photography, multiple exposures, etc. Each week, our online meetings will investigate and research a specific and challenging assignment, discuss means for carrying it out, and allow individual self-exploration to complete the work. The course takes the student out of the realm of conventional photography and into the territory of the unexplored and unconventional world of completely creative photography. Online sessions will include class critique sessions.

Chicago’s Best Photography Teachers
If you’re suspicious of photographers who want you to invest in a trip to Kauai in order to take beautiful landscape shots, you’re already more perceptive than most and perhaps you just need to get to Harper College. A photographer in the U.S. Army and a graduate of Columbia College, Harold Rail makes a living in photojournalism, commercial, and creative photography, so the man has the chops. A decade's long dedication to Zen Buddhist practice informs his images with knowing nano-second captures of infinity – and, honestly, where else can you get the combo of experience and artistry? Rail champions the art of photography teaching affordable classes for children, teenagers, and adults at Harper College. See the eccentricity and enthusiasm that blooms in his photographic work on exhibit at the new Hyatt Centric in Chicago, too. Jacqueline Runice, Travel/Event Writer USA Today 10 Best

Harold is a great instructor, who makes his classes very interesting and full of creative energy! Vince W.

I really enjoyed working with Jim, he was open about many techniques, and getting info about being in the profession was very interesting and eye-opening. He made us all feel comfortable and excited about us learning and moving forward. B. L.

I learned a lot in the photography class. He taught by example, and we had a lot of hands-on experience in class. He was able to talk to the various levels of experience each student had in class and to the variety of camera models we each had. S. L.
