The photography program teaches visual communication including producing images that tell stories, illustrate ideas, record events, express moods, make a statement, shape contemporary culture and sell products. Traditionally photography was done with film and wet darkroom processes. We now have a state-of-the-art digital photo lab where students can use Apple Macintosh computers for image processing and printing, as is currently done in the industry. Students will learn photographic skills including lighting, image processing and printing. Skills learned will be further enhanced being part of the Pierce College Media Arts Department publications, the Roundup and the Bull. Upon completion of this program, degree holders should be able to apply the skill sets in a variety of photography careers, such as commercial and advertising photography, photojournalism and other photography businesses. These skills are also applicable in journalism fields as well as film, television and electronic media. Specific careers related to this degree would include: Photographer; Portrait Photographer; Sports Photographer; Photo Studio Owner; Advertising Photographer; Commercial Photographer; Press Photographer; Photo Editor; Television Camera Operator; Magazine Features Editor; Graphic Designer; Medical Illustrator. Jobs where this could be useful include: Advertising Art Director; Film/Video Editor; Stylist; Visual Merchandiser; Web Content Manager; Web Designer; Digital Marketer. Students who would like to earn an associate degree and transfer to a university bachelor program can achieve this goal with early educational planning. However, earning an associate degree is not required to transfer. This program is also offered as a short-term certificate program.
