Students focused on Studio Photography and Portfolio Creation, developing their creative voice through hands-on work and real-world exposure. In the studio, they learned to use continuous and strobe lighting, worked with modifiers, and explored storytelling through portraiture—kicked off by a two-day workshop with Annie Leibovitz.

Our students visited photography collections at the New York Public Library, The MET, the Morgan Library, and AIPAD, studied the history of photography, and engaged with the field through publishing, exhibitions, and portfolio reviews. These experiences encouraged a deeper understanding of the medium and helped students build thoughtful, refined bodies of work.
