Shaun Bangert
University of Michigan School of Art & Design
Currently. Second
year of graduate studies, pursuing a Masters in photography. Teaches
advanced, intermediate, and color photography courses at Siena Heights
University.
Focus. “I
love the entire process of photography--not just taking the pictures
but also the darkroom experience. Although I do a lot of work digitally
on a computer, in the darkroom I seem to have a direct contact with
the image, much more so than with a computer, where there always seems
to be a separation.”
Goal. “To
teach photography, from basics to advanced, but particularly the fine
arts aspect, and to motivate students to think about issues and ideas
they can express in their photographs.”

Cameras. Pentax
K1000, Honeywell Spotmatic, Nikkormat, Calumet 4x5; “and the toy
cameras--Holga and Lubitel.”
Spectrum.
“I have three distinct bodies of photographic work: self-referential,
digital manipulations, and ‘straight’ photography of my family
and environment.”
Influences.
“Sally Mann, Ralph Eugene Meatyard, Mike and Doug Starn, August
Sander.”
Film. For
black and white, T-Max 100 and 400. For color, “just about everything--Kodak,
Fuji, and Agfa.”
