The Photography program at CCS blends traditional techniques and digital training—including video and motion graphics—to help students thrive in the constantly changing world of photography. Ample studio space creates a home for honing fine art skills; training in commercial settings—from events to fashion shoots to fine art images—fosters flexibility and creativity.

Students develop a unique photographic style through a combination of refined fine art skills and applied commercial studio training, which provides flexibility in the thought process and helps prepare them to deal with the constantly changing photographic field.
