The Photography concentration is dedicated to providing students with knowledge of digital, analog and alternative photographic processes. Students are expected to think critically, to participate fully in group critiques, and to defend their working process both technically and conceptually. The Photography concentration is a fine art program, which refers to photographs that are created in accordance with the creative vision of the photographer as artist. Fine art photography stands in contrast to commercial photography, the primary focus of which is to advertise products or services.
Through the generosity of the Triplette Foundation and other university programs, renowned photographers are brought to campus to lecture and meet with students to discuss current issues in the medium each year.
Students are required to supply their own cameras and printing supplies. When registering for the introductory course, ART 285, please note that there is a traditional darkroom class and a digital class. There are many models of camera, both 35mm and DSLR, from which to choose. However, all cameras must have manual options, such as the ability to change ISO, aperture and shutter speed. A complete list of supplies will be discussed the first day of class.
The prerequisite for ART 285 is ART 140. Classes must be taken in sequence (200 level, all 300 level courses and lastly, 485). ART 485 is designed to be taken in the last year of the BA/BFA program. ART 393 is where students find a photography or art-related business that agrees to supervise an internship (the internship can be completed over a summer or a semester). Interested students can find necessary paperwork for internships in the art office.
If you are a transfer student with additional questions, please email Leah at ljsobsey@uncg.edu. If you have taken photography at another institution, you will need to provide a portfolio of 15-20 images so we can best determine proper placement within the program.
These are the courses required by the Photography concentration. For a suggested schedule of courses for Photography students, see the schedule at the bottom of this page. For more information on these and other available courses, see the UNCG course bulletin.
