Photographers create images that define our world and record our time. The Photography major provides students with a comprehensive set of practical photographic and digital imaging skills in combination with theoretical knowledge to enable them as photographers to develop their vision and progress their career as creative professionals. Students will have their creative practice informed and enriched by an in-depth study of the power and meaning of images within a cultural-historical context. Throughout the major, students develop a thorough understanding of critical photographic design and theory and learn how to apply this at a practical level in their work. Students will develop strong technical camera and lighting skills through the rigorous development of numerous photographic projects. In addition, students will be equipped with contemporary networking and marketing skills key to their success as creative producers.
