The Regenstein School is pleased to offer the Focus on Photography certificate program, enabling photographers of all levels to experience the wonders of the natural world, develop and sharpen their powers of observation, and to master their technical skills. This program is a unique opportunity to discover and enhance your creativity, learn from outstanding photography professionals, and enjoy the Garden as your studio.
Who Should Participate?
This program is designed to engage photographers of all skill levels. Whether you are just beginning your photographic journey or interested in developing your artistic voice, there is a place for you! Just take your first course and you are on your way! No prior experience is needed.
Program Design:
The Focus on Photography program has three tracks of concentration: Fine Art, Nature and Landscape, and an advanced Master track. Before entering either the Fine Art or Nature and Landscape track, students must complete four introductory courses. If entering the program as an intermediate photographer, a proficiency test is available to waive the introductory courses. Please contact the program manager for more information. All other course curriculum builds off the foundations in these courses.
Fine Art
Creativity skills are developed with an emphasis on design and ways of seeing a subject to evoke a feeling or message with images. This track develops each student’s portfolio and use of their camera as an artistic tool.
Nature and Landscape
Through classroom study and field work, students will learn to use the camera as a tool for documenting flora, fauna, and other environmental subjects, while gaining an appreciation of nature.
Master
The Master track is designed for advanced students who have completed either the Fine Art or Nature and Landscape track.
