1-Year Photography Program

The one-year photography program is a total immersion experience designed to equip students with the practical skills to become working professionals. It uniquely provides instruction and intensive hands-on experience in the technology, aesthetics, business, history and theory of still photography, as well as the use of the moving image from a photographer’s perspective. While photography has always been intrinsically tied to technology, the image-makers of today cannot afford to call themselves just photographers. They must also be digital imaging experts, and capable of working confidently with multimedia platforms.

No significant prior experience in photography is assumed. The program brings everyone to the same level very quickly, beginning with the fundamentals and filling the inevitable gaps in the understanding of those who have some experience.

Skills learned as a result of successful completion of this program include:

An in-depth knowledge of digital SLR cameras, lighting, post-production, and printing
Expertise at producing winning bids and managing a successful photography business
Research techniques for documentary subjects or news stories visualized through photography
Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Premiere Pro) and Lightroom
Intimate familiarity with the history of photography and major movements since its invention
Knowledge of aesthetic theories of photography and experience with their practical application
The ability to work independently in a high-pressure creative environment
