The Photography class provides a comprehensive study of photography as an art form.

The course will expose the student to fundamental issues unique to the medium through the study of the history of photography.

Students will also work with both film and digital cameras, and they will work on self- portraits, portraits and still life. For more advanced classes, students will explore landscape and documentary photography.
