The Photography curriculum is carefully designed to build fundamental technical skills in the operation of 35mm and medium-format cameras, using traditional and digital camera systems. In addition, all classes emphasize the importance of creativity and originality in image-making through a progressive series of conceptual assignments. Basics in digital imaging, editing and creative manipulations, digital printing and color management technologies are provided from entry-level classes and throughout the entire curriculum. The program develops the historic relevance of photography in art and multimedia as well as provides a foundation in creative digital processes that will integrate into the work place. Our digital classroom and darkroom facilities include state-of-the-art service bureau quality equipment and archival printers up to 44” wide to thoroughly prepare students for a variety of job opportunities in the work place. Nine new industry-specific short courses have been added as electives.
