Photography
The Photography program establishes a firm foundation in the aesthetic, technical, and theoretical aspects of photography. As a student in this concentration, you will study film and darkroom techniques, digital and related image-making, and explorations of the many hybrid processes of this constantly evolving lens-based field.
The curriculum encourages you to investigate contemporary trends while being informed by the inextricable historic links of the medium to modernity and the industrialized state: the photograph as evidence, document, memorial, snapshot, and advertisement, along with the societal notion of photographic truth.
Students develop work through critical inquiry and push the boundaries of photography by crossing disciplines. Initial classes focus on exercises that build foundational skills, while advanced students engage in proposal-based creative projects that establish concept development, methodology, and formal decisions around output.
To further your practical experience in the field, you will be encouraged to participate in the Internship Program, which matches students' skills and theoretical training to employers within the community. Work in this concentration will enable you to institute independent research methods and autonomous investigation as lasting tools to serve you beyond graduation.
