Photographic Imaging
Faculty:
Courses in Photographic Imaging have been designed to increase an understanding of the most universal language in the world today - that of photographic images. Courses are designed to provide experiences in the fundamentals of photographic imaging that lead to an understanding of traditional photographic techniques as well as experimental, non-traditional digital imaging.
Photographic image-making goals fall into three inter-related categories.
- Aesthetic: Preparation of artistic images for exhibition. (Art Photography)
- Informational: Preparation of images that communicate. (Photojournalism)
- Commercial: Preparation of images that sell. (Advertising/Public Relations, Studio, and Illustration)
The Photographic Imaging Program is taught in the Arts Annex. Program facilities include black and white and color darkrooms on two floors, and a Smart Classroom digital photography lab.
Classes in Photographic Imaging are required for state accreditation of all students planning to teach Art or Photography (Art Education). Students in Journalism and Mass Communications (JMC), who want to specialize in photojournalism, are required to take all photographic imaging courses in the School of Art and Designs.
