photography

As a student of photography, your study begins with a thorough investigation of analog and digital photographic processes, including hands-on training with a variety of film and digital cameras; and both black and white, and color darkroom procedures and alternative output practices. Advanced photography courses train you in the use of medium- and large-format cameras, in-studio lighting strategies, metering, film types, and a variety of techniques that prepare you for an inside view of the profession: working with professional fashion and documentary photographers.

The exploration of age-old alternative photographic processes—compounding sensitizers, creating cyanotypes by hand, coating beautiful art papers, gum bichromate, platinum palladium, etc.—complements your education and prepares you for a career in photojournalism, print or documentary photography, or the pursuit of graduate studies.
