Senior Photography Thesis

This final semester in the BFA photography program will be a culmination of all previous work completed by students to develop a thesis with well-defined, imaginative ideas. Students will exhibit advanced digital and analog techniques, combined with creative vision and a personal aesthetic in the production of a final portfolio for their thesis exhibition. In addition to creating a portfolio, students will submit a written artist statement describing the viewpoints with their work, a bio, and printed and online self-promotional materials and presentations. Also, there will be discussion of historical and contemporary photographer’s work as well as gallery and museum visits. Readings will cover early and contemporary theory, analysis of aesthetics, as well as other related topics in the photographic industry. Students will also learn knowledge of professional exhibition procedures and artistic practices and how to prepare for the job market, graduate school and other future endeavors.
