Photography

The photography department is an intimate environment emphasizing a creative approach to imagemaking while focusing on, but not limited to, feminist issues. Discussions of assigned readings, slide presentations and intense group critiques create a balance between theory and practice.

The curriculum offers a variety of courses and concentrations in black and white, color, alternative processes, installation, digital technologies and bookarts. Students take an active role in determining and implementing the curriculum.

The photography program provides a place to explore ideas, develop skills, evolve as an artist, articulate critical concerns, develop networks and discuss teaching philosophies. Students are empowered to take risks, establish a broad vision of the field and develop a personal voice/working method.
