Photography and video have been rapidly evolving in recent years. The way we teach about photography and video straddles the worlds of film and digital to help you discover all you really need to know—how to make an arresting image come to life. You`ll begin by learning the basics: black and white photography.

This will give you the foundation you need including camera operation, film processing, and printing in the school`s darkrooms. From there you`ll explore color photography and advanced printing techniques along with the zone system, toning, studio lighting, photography in the digital age, and the use of alternative cameras and papers.

Video is used in a growing number of artistic ways: installation, performance, experimental narrative and documentary, single-channel video art works, and interdisciplinary projects. Our video courses will teach you basic production and editing skills while encouraging you to use electronic media as a creative tool for personal expression.
