Whether working as an applied or fine artist, the successful photographer is one who can find the most appropriate blend of a developed aesthetic and the science and technology of image-making to produce a legible personal statement. The Photography Program at Marywood offers a strong foundation in the technical skills required of the photographer. Traditional media are stressed, while developments in digital imaging are embraced. Fluency in the medium is enriched and expanded by the study of aesthetics and art/photographic history, as well as through class discussions and critiques, which emphasize the development of the voice of the individual as artist. The relationship of photography to other disciplines, such as illustration and graphic design, is explored in projects involving both areas of study. Marywood’s flexible program is designed to meet the individual needs of the aspiring photographic professional.

The Photography Program is designed to equip the graduate with a solid foundation in both digital and silver-based film photography. Graduates may find jobs as assistants in commercial and portrait studios, as technicians or digital imaging specialists in professional photo imaging labs, as staff members in corporate or government photo departments, or as members of film or television production crews. Desirable aptitudes and interests include the ability to pre-visualize subject matter, describe visuals in written scripts, engage in effective problem solving and work well under deadlines. Previous courses in art, photography, chemistry, algebra, physics, keyboarding or computer skills may be helpful.
