Photography


Across thousands of years, humans have tried to tell their stories using pictorial images. Even our alphabet was derived from representative images. But, it was the invention of photography that made it possible to capture the very light that made the image visible to the human eye. Now, you can let pictures do the talking.

"Photos break the language barrier."

Today, photographs are used to tell our stories. And in the process they have become an indispensable and integral part of our individual and collective memory. When someone's home is on fire, first to be rescued are people and pets, then family photo albums.

From advertising, family and individual portraits, news images or simple snapshots, you need not aspire to be a photographer to use, create or be influenced by photographic images.

"Harness the Power of Pictures"

Take product illustration, studio and on location portraiture, conventional darkroom and digital printing techniques, add fine arts photography, photojournalism and photodocumentation, and our selection of photo courses provide students with a broad yet solid foundation toward career choices in any area of photography. Our aim is to present the broadest possible set of aesthetic and technical principles and let the students decide which career path to take.
