CIA's iPad Curriculum Turns Two

Academics . Photography . Overview

Photography

At the Cleveland Institute of Art, we offer three tracks of study in photography: Digital and Photographic Arts, Film and Video, and Publication Photography. In each track, you will benefit from the expertise of a diverse, committed faculty and a foundation in the traditional methods of photography—film and chemistry.

Our unique coursework will provide you with a rich and varied knowledge of the techniques and aesthetics of photography. You will explore an array of photographic and video materials including professional imaging equipment, digital and film cameras, studio lighting, and digital manipulation and enhancement. You also will examine still and moving imagery processes, exposing you to film and video, digital editing, current RIP printing software, and the use of special effects.

As a Photography student, you will learn how to refine and communicate your distinct vision in a creative, collaborative surrounding through assignments, lectures, critiques, and one-on-one discussions with instructors and visiting artists. We encourage you to participate in exchange programs, international mobility studies, and internships with professional artists and photographers. In addition, you have the opportunity to attend onsite workshops and lectures sponsored by organizations and companies, such as American Society of Media Photographers, Fujifilm, Leaf America, Gretag MacBeth, Mamiya, Hasselblad, and Polaroid Corporation. We also invite professional journalists, critics, writers, collectors, curators, and museum and gallery directors to meet with you and critique your portfolio.
