PHOTOGRAPHY Bachelor of Fine Arts 12 Quarters WHAT WILL I LEARN? In our bachelor of fine arts program, you have the opportunity to obtain key technical skill with basic classes in photography (both traditional darkroom and digital), design, and layout. As you gain proficiency, you increase your skill level with coursework in studio and product photography, in-depth topical explorations of subject, and professional level digital photographic printing. You can sharpen your camera skills through learning to use camera formats from 35mm to 4x5 studio cameras with digital backs. Manipulate light to create drama then play with the color. You scout your locations and then get in the darkroom for some hands-on processing and printing, or in the digital lab to make a 24” x 36” digital print. PREPARING YOUR PORTFOLIO You start to shape your own style. As you work, a single unexpected frame may take your breath away or you may shoot all day before you get the look that you want. Either way, when you experience the excitement of knowing that you captured one perfect photograph, you’re hooked. When you’re ready to graduate, it’s time to bring all the elements of your education into focus with your portfolio. It’s the culmination of all your effort and the most important factor in your job search. As a showcase of your best work, your “book” gauges your creative talent, technical skill, and value in the marketplace for potential employers to see. PROGRAM MISSION The mission of the Photography program is to provide students with technical skills and the mature design vision needed to produce compelling imagery. Students will also acquire communication and business skills appropriate to market needs. 36 PROGRAM OBJECTIVES Produce a portfolio of original work for current media and multiple platforms, demonstrating industry standards, personal interest and career specialization.
