Photography studies at SFCC include digital, silver, and non-silver techniques, and emphasize conceptual and expressive approaches to using photography as a means of communication. Students develop an understanding of historical, cultural, and aesthetic perspectives in photography in addition to learning how to critically analyze images. Students complete their general and core studies, as well as create portfolios of their work for each course and as part of their degree requirements.
