The exhibition provides a survey of student work including:

• still life
• figure
• landscape
• digital compositions
• traditional cyanotypes

The exhibition will be on view until Sunday, Nov. 30, in Murphy’s Mug coffee shop, first floor Murphy Library. Works were selected by UW-L Associate Professor of Photography Linda Levinson to showcase the breadth of techniques and conceptual frameworks students experiment with throughout her classes. Classwork includes using digital cameras, post processing and digital output. Students explore artwork and advanced imaging technologies and their impact on personal identity, social relations, culture and society.
