The field of photography is an expanding visual sector demanding skilled experts. This program guides students through essential aspects of photography, allowing them to apply their skills in image capture remotely. The curriculum focuses on workflow, lighting techniques, portraiture, and product photography, all within the virtual realm. Post-production utilizing the Adobe Creative Suite, as well as foundational lessons in video capture, color management, and print production, are integral parts of the online experience. Important entrepreneurial courses are included in our A.A.S. degree as well.
The Professional Photography A.A.S. Degree and Diploma programs prepare students to capture images in many different environments and then transform those images into client ready files or prints. The A.A.S. degree includes business courses preparing graduates for the current job market or photography business ownership.
Students must possess a digital single-lens reflex (SLR) or mirrorless camera that captures images in manual mode and has interchangeable lenses. Contact Lisa Cline if you own a camera to confirm it meets the requirements, or for guidance in purchasing a camera.
