Creative Photography Careers |
Like the other visual arts programs, creative photography majors explore
art theory, concepts, and professional artistic development, in addition
to the general photography curriculum. The program encourages the student
to develop her or his personal artwork through a constructive dialouge
that builds on the particular strengths of the student, faculty and
institution at large. We particularly encourage work which engages the
future trajectories of photography and related practices (such as electronic
media, installation, performance) and which develops out of an informed
inquiry into the histories, theories, and practices of photography and
culture as it has traditionally been understood.
