The photography program recognizes both the broadening definition of photography's role in contemporary art and its changing technical means. Students are encouraged to work closely with faculty for assistance in developing a course of instruction in response to both their personal artistic growth and needs.
Our faculty has expertise in areas ranging from black and white and color still photography, alternative photo methods, digital photography, studio lighting, large format, documentary photography and photo history and theory. The program encourages cross-fertilization, experimentation and aesthetic freedom relevant to today's ever-changing definition of fine art photography. Emphasis is placed on the ability to explore concepts, develop skills and to evolve as both a communicator of ideas and as a photographic artist.
