Students in photography at SIU are provided with a range of essential courses which encompass the history, theory, and practice of analog and digital photographic expression and communication.
Our students explore a full breadth of courses from basic digital photography to large format darkroom and alternative photographic processes. We encourage students to discover the field of photography that best fits their needs and interest, whether it is fine art, commercial, documentary, or anything beyond or in between.
Through our mentorship, hands-on instruction, and active participation with the RSO Photogenesis (student photo club), our photography students cultivate the necessary work ethic and creative problem solving skills valued within the creative arts industry.
