Introduction
The Integrated Media: Photography program balances personal artistic development with an intensive focus on technical skills and building commercially-viable sensibilities. Students explore contemporary photographic applications of digital technology: composition, portraiture, digital workflow and media management, studio and location lighting, DSLR video applications, and freelance business practices. Students will also receive a strong foundation in digital photo enhancement and manipulation techniques. Working in creative design teams, students create both print and web-based projects in a real-world environment. Each student is responsible for creating a traditional printed portfolio and a web-based portfolio upon completing the program.
The photography facilities include fully equipped studios for portraiture, product, and fashion photography. Students have access to a wide variety of professional equipment: specialized cameras, camera lenses, strobe, and constant lighting equipment, as well as a Mac computer lab equipped with current photo software. The associate degree program graduates are prepared to seek entry-level jobs such as photography assistant, studio manager, freelance photographer, photo editor, digital imaging specialist, and retoucher. While attending school, many of our students also secure valuable internships with professional photographers and studios in the area as part of their credited coursework.
