OVERVIEW

Photography Concentration

Students in this concentration have access to one of the finest darkroom and studio facilities in New England. Our students work with professional equipment as early as their first year. Students get a hands-on experience with equipment ranging from manual 35mm film to digital SLR cameras, medium format Hasselblad and Mamiya cameras, as well as traditional 4x5 view cameras. The photography lab is equipped with two large group darkrooms and several individual darkrooms.

There are also two digitally equipped professional commercial studios in which to learn and create. Students are trained in the ins and outs of both traditional and digital printing. Photography students can be assured that they will be knowledgeable of both the hardware and software needed to pursue their goals. In addition, they will have every advantage for establishing a portfolio of work they can be proud of.

"The photo department has always been very helpful with and understanding about any problems or questions I have had." Leah Pusateri, Photography Concentration Student
