Photography
Housed in the main art building of the Lamar Dodd School of Art, the Photography area occupies over 7,000 square feet, spanning two floors. Constantly responding to changes in technologies is paramount to the program; the area has a deep commitment to analog and digital technologies and the intersections of the two.
The department currently houses five large format printers, two Imacon scanners, a computer lab with sixteen 27″ iMacs, and numerous smaller format printers and other peripheries.
We have one large group darkroom with eighteen stations, six private darkrooms with sinks accommodating 16″ x 20″ print processing (150 sq. feet each), two JOBO film processors, and new finishing studio that contains a 44″ and 24” Xyron Pressure Laminator and a 60″ wall mounted board cutter.
On the third floor, students have access to a 500 square foot, north facing studio, fully stocked with Profoto equipment and seamless backdrops for studio projects. Adjacent to that space is a project space with 30 linear feet and gallery lighting for short term installations and projects.
Students can also make use of the Checkout for Audiovisual Equipment (CAVE), which contains over two hundred items. The full catalogue of equipment can be found in the CAVE policy.
