Overview
The Department of Photography & Imaging at Tisch offers a four-year B.F.A. program centered on the making and understanding of images. Students explore photo-based imagery as personal and cultural expression. Situated within a university, our program offers students both the intensive focus of an arts curriculum and a serious and broad grounding in the liberal arts. We are a diverse department embracing multiple perspectives, and our 130 majors work in virtually all modes of analog and digital photo-based image making and multimedia.

Spring 2011:
Advanced Photoshop
H82.1260, 3 Credits, Studio
Cate Fallon, Thursday 9:30-1:15
721 Bway, 843
Prerequisite: Photography and Imaging Digital, Photoshop or permission of the department.
The creative potential of digital photography is opening a new world of intellectual and practical questions. Whether using Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop, to create images for screen or print, basic concerns of image integrity and quality become paramount. In this class Students will learn how to control and expand their use of Photoshop to create a portfolio of images representing their best and fullest artistic intentions. Emphasis will be placed on using Photoshop to explore the aesthetic and compositional aspects of your images as well as exploring the potential for creating or constructing images from photographic source material and graphic design principals.
A grounding in the basic tools of Photoshop and the techniques of digital photography is assumed, so only the first two sessions will be a review of basic tools and concepts. While Photoshop is a tool for a wide variety of digital platforms, the focus of this class will be on traditional digital printing.
This course has two primary requirements: first, a printed portfolio of at least 10 images and one large exhibition print; and second, to develop an efficient work process and appreciation for contemporary digital imaging, students will be required to complete small weekly assignments and visit local galleries.
Senior Focus: Business of Art
Kalia Brooks; Thursday 11:00-1:00
H82.1100; 2 credits
This class will attempt to demystify the questions and decisions young artists face when choosing a profession in the arts. Central to the course is understanding an artist’s creative growth and lifestyle choices are inextricably entwined with his/her financial security. Young creative professionals need to realistically assess their future goals and aspirations in order to find their niche in the worlds of both art and commerce, while supporting their larger creative vision. This class is largely a survey of the many career choices available to artists. Topics covered will be: graduate schools, careers in teaching, editorial, advertising, stock and corporate photography, art buying and photo editing, photo assisting, galleries, artist’ s residencies, grants and fundraising sources, portfolio preparation and marketing resumes. The class relies heavily on guests from the publishing, business and art world, giving students the chance to show their work to, and elicit advice from, top industry professionals.
This class is designed for Photography & Imaging seniors. Other aspiring photographers should contact the department to register: 212-998-1930 or photo.tisch.nyu.edu
