Digital Photography Major
Our world is rapidly expanding through the use of technology and increasing the demand for digital professionals. As a digital photographer, you can deliver to companies and individuals worldwide the images they need for print, film, or the Internet. Your education is the key to a profitable career. Not only will it prepare you to use the latest equipment and most powerful software, a degree opens doors.

A digital photography major gives you first-hand knowledge and experience with creative tools used in studios and on location. Your classes will include the basics of photography and design, giving you the foundation you need to develop your artistic style. It will also give you an overview of equipment, how to use it, and which equipment is appropriate when shooting a variety of subjects such as portraits, nature, architecture, and action shots.

Catering your photographs to a client's needs by manipulating the composition is a necessary skill every digital photographer must have. Learning Adobe Photoshop software is standard in any digital photography major because of how powerful and seemingly limitless it is in its capabilities. Changing the color saturation, exaggerating a feature, scaling an image to fit a specific space, and adding new material to a picture are only a few options Photoshop offers.

You will learn how to present a project or finished piece with print-quality material ready for publication. By the time you receive your degree in digital photography, you will have created an impressive portfolio to start your career.
