Purpose: In a world saturated by images, photography has become a language of our modern culture. With that in mind, students in the photography program at Anne Arundel Community College will learn to create more expressive and engaging photographs. A wide variety of beginning and advanced courses in both digital and analog photography allow students to explore the many creative possibilities the medium has to offer while also gaining a strong technical foundation in the craft.

Upon completing the photography concentration students are able to transfer to a four-year institution or go straight into the field. Possible professions include a wide variety of applied and creative professions, including but not limited to editorial photographer, studio photographer and fine art photographer.

Students must have a DSLR camera with manually adjustable f-stop and shutter speed controls.
