Description

The Photography and Videography program will provide students with a solid foundation in digital imaging and videography, and is ideal for photography and videography enthusiasts regardless of their skill level. The student to instructor ratio ensures that students have plenty of one on one guidance from their instructor.

Students will learn everything from photography basics in lighting, exposure and composition to capturing and editing video, mastering Photoshop, portfolio design and creative visual content for online and traditional platforms. They will fine-tune their skills in a professional on-site studio environment as well as in indoor and outdoor locations around PEI.

The program features two large, well-equipped studios, an equipment room housing a variety of camera systems, lenses, lighting, video accessories and backgrounds, a multi station digital lab with Macintosh computers, scanners, printers and Adobe software such as Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere Pro, and a dedicated space for custom framing and other finishing work.

Guest photographers and other industry specialists are brought in to enhance students's educational experience by exploring different creative styles and points of view; and field excursions provide an opportunity to photograph some of the most iconic locations on Prince Edward Island.

While in this program, students may take on projects for private clients, which will give them even more valuable practical experience.
