Photographer Dave LaBelle to offer classes at CU By C.J. Burgess Next semester, students at Campbellsville University, or those who want to become students, will have the chance to take two new photography courses with a visiting professor. Renowned photographer Dave LaBelle will be teaching "Faith and Photography" and "Photo Therapy." LaBelle has been in photography for more than 60 years. He has worked for newspapers, magazines and television stations and has taught at the University of Kentucky, Kent State University and Western Kentucky University. He continues to do photography, write and teach. LaBelle was also the guest speaker at the 15th Annual Mass Media Appreciation Luncheon on campus in April. "I really, truly believe that anyone who takes any of these courses will be blessed, and I believe that they will remember it for the rest of their lives," Stan McKinney, lead professor of mass communication and associate professor of journalism at Campbellsville University, said. McKinney has worked hard with LaBelle to make these courses a reality. "It's something he told me that he wanted to do for years but never had the opportunity to do so," McKinney said. LaBelle never got the chance to teach "Faith and Photography" in other institutions because it would bring religion into the classroom. "I have taught photography classes for 50 years, but when instructing university classes, I have tried to respect non-religious guidelines and limit my conversations about God because I don't feel the secular classroom should be a church pulpit," LaBelle said. "To be able to teach photography and storytelling on a foundation of faith in God combines my two great loves, without feeling the restrictions of a secular environment, is liberating," he said. Students who enroll in "Faith and Photojournalism" or "Photo Therapy" will be expected to know how to use a camera. "He [LaBelle] is not going to show you how to operate the camera; the assumption is that you have a working knowledge of a digital, single lens reflex camera," McKinney said. Both classes will be offered in spring 2020 during the second bi-term. "Faith and Photojournalism" will be offered on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8 a.m. Students who enroll in this course can expect to learn how to tell stories with photos on a foundation of Jesus Christ. "The primary goal of the course is to create or strengthen a compassionate journalistic conscience," LaBelle said. "The assignments in the course will help students gain an ethical thought process that will help them face the many challenging situations they may encounter while working in photography." "Photo Therapy" will be offered Tuesday and Thursday at 8 a.m. In this course, students will learn how a camera can help take the focus off of life's pains and problems. "This class is designed to teach students how to use photography and storytelling as compassionate tools for healing and connection," LaBelle said. Students who are interested in taking either of these courses can enroll now. McKinney said students must have completed MAC 330 Beginning Photojournalism, or students who have a working knowledge of a DSLR can get in the class with permission of the instructor. Since LaBelle won't be here until March, students can get permission from McKinney. For more information on "Faith and Photojournalism," "Photo Therapy" or to enroll, you can visit McKinney's office, Carter Hall room 207, or send an email to somckinney@campbellsville.edu or call (270)789-5035.
