A SHOWCASE A DAY

Realizing you can’t just spend one week at Maine Media learning about photography?! Fear not!! This summer we are offering a Photography: Six-Week Workstudy

A unique environment for studying photography, students spend six weeks marrying creative vision with technical craft. The goal of this program is to gain command over the craft while creating a portfolio of meaningful images representing each photographer’s creative voice. 

Over the course of six weeks, lectures, demonstrations, discussions and critiques expose students to aesthetics, technical execution and history of photography and contemporary trends. Exposure, camera controls and fine printing along with the challenges of creating cohesive threads in a body of work are covered and put to use in this workshop.

Students continually work out in the field on assignments designed to help discover and develop a unique visual voice, covering a variety of genres including landscape, interiors, portraits and the social document. Upon completion of the course, an exhibition is held on campus to review the accomplishments of the program.

Students supply their own printing paper for the duration of this course.  Students are to bring a digital SLR camera and laptop with CS5.

Workstudy participants cover their room and board costs by working up to 12 hours per week as part of the Workshops’ team.
