Throughout their four semesters in the area, photo students are exposed to as wide a range of photographic techniques as possible and encouraged to use those tools to develop a personal vision in the medium.

Emphasis is on a fine art approach to the medium. Right from the start, students are expected to gain an understanding of the photographic language and its place in their own work. Time is spent each week analyzing the work of established photographers to better gain an appreciation for this language.

Supervised lab hours offer students access to the darkrooms.

Artist Statement:

The work is intended to place the landscape (both private and public) in a larger context, a context that contains not only political, spiritual, and cultural narratives, but also the air contained within the scene, the weather and light that give each photograph a unique place in time, and the planets, stars and solar systems hidden from sight yet still present behind every sky. Each place represented by the photographs is part of something much larger than itself.
