The Drexel University Photography program teaches students how to develop a unique photographic vision using a combination of aesthetics and technology. The one week residency Photography Workshop will be an intensive exploration of the many facets that make up photography in the 21st century.

Final project

We will cover all main areas of the medium with one-two day intensive lessons. We will begin in the studio covering the workflow of lighting both still life and portraits. Then we will move into our state of the art digital labs where we will learn how to harness the full power of Photoshop and make large prints from the prior two days in the studio. Finally, we will spend two days in the darkroom exploring the alchemy that make traditional photography such a magical process. We will also be going on a field trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art to visit their Prints and Photographs collections where you will see first-hand, prints made by the masters of the medium. We will also visit a photographer’s studio who shoots for Philadelphia Magazine and is an alumnus of the program.

Finally, the workshop will culminate with an exhibition of the work produced by the students that parents and the public will be invited to attend to view.

Students who successfully complete the one-week program will receive a program certificate from Drexel University’s Photography Department. You will also take away the foundation of a diverse student portfolio with original prints and digital files along with a lot of career insights and happy memories, too.
