Photography
In a media-saturated landscape, are you eager to see the world through your own lens?
Moore’s Photography program is well equipped with expansive facilities—from a wet darkroom and lighting studio to a digital video lab and 2D animation lab—and a free camera rental center. Working in both analog and digital formats, you’ll learn how to use the technical skills to advance the ideas, issues and passions that are important to you.
“The facilities are amazing, honestly. The class sizes for photography are typically relatively small, so the spaces are not often packed with people. In the Photo Cage, there is always a monitor in case you have questions about how to use something or if you want to check out equipment.”
