Photography Degree at Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design Wisconsin
THE OVERVIEW:
Light. Chemistry. Observation.
Behold the beholder. You see emotion, intrigue, brilliance and energy in everyday surroundings and moments, and you capture them and their meaning for others. Photography, too, is a pencil for the artist, revealing pattern and form, detail and composition. Photography allows the artist to both observe and comment on life with an extremely powerful tool.
Examples of Photography student work
There is equal emphasis in MIAD’s Photography Program between the technical and the conceptual. You will explore digital imaging and the darkroom, learn how images can be manipulated and how photographers are able to extend their vision to wider expanses of expression. As you advance in the program, you will have the flexibility to construct your major with emphases in areas of personal interest, such as alternative print processes, expanded scale, large format camera, commercial applications and color.
As a senior, you will intern in preparation for your entry into a professional career. MIAD’s Photography graduates find success in many careers: some work as fine artists, while others choose to work commercially in advertising, portraiture, photojournalism or industrial photography.
