Photography
The Photography Department at LdM aims to enhance students’ ability to conceptualize ideas, and articulate concepts visually while engaging in critical conversations on how images shape contemporary culture. We recognize the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of photography and encourage students to explore related media including installation and film. This helps them harness the power of self-expression to create thoughtful work that deals with meaningful issues in today’s global environment.
Through close interaction with the faculty, who are highly regarded professionals, LdM provides students with all the necessary tools to analyze in-depth, critically evaluate and structure professional-level projects. The Department’s curriculum covers a full spectrum of conceptual and theoretical issues that combines technique with creativity in specially structured courses offered at all levels. Students begin with the basic techniques of studio lighting, panning, zooming in and black and white portraiture. The acquired methods are then put into practice while they learn more advanced procedures honing their skills, so they can progress to professional post-production. During the course of study, LdM students develop their own photographic and artistic language building on the technical and theoretical aspects of the discipline.
Our facilities offer spacious photo labs with a dark room, advanced computer facilities with Adobe Suite programs, and a collection of professional equipment for students to immediately put into practice what they learned: they thus gain a deeper understanding of how to communicate concepts in a clear way and present them in a professional form that reflects contemporary themes. Through this process, they can use their photographic projects to build their professional portfolios, which may propel them to start a career in a chosen field such as photography, fashion photography, advertisement and commercial photography, and food design.
