Reflections on the first Week

It has been a very wet week for the most part and yet, you have all been so wonderful! It has been great seeing how you all see the world, laugh and relate to each other. I'm so incredibly impressed with the high level of work that is being produced! Your photographs are fun, engaging, interesting and thoughtful. Can't wait to see what week two and for those third weekers, what photographs will be produced. So great getting to know each one of you! And special thanks to our two amazing TAs, Barbie and Sean!

First Photo Safaris: Lake Champlain and Downtown Burlington

Here's some of my edited clips from our afternoon downtown on Tuesday. I'm interested to get everyone's take on my images and see what you've been shooting too.

Welcome to the SOCAPA Photo program

ABOUT SOCAPA

SOCAPA offers both two and three week summer programs in traditional 35mm darkroom and/or digital photography with a strong emphasis on aesthetics and portfolio development. Students take classes in studio and portrait photography, photojournalism, documentary, fine art photography, Photoshop and web publishing (online portfolio). 

Our Summer Photography Programs are closely tied to our Acting, Filmmaking and Dance Programs. As part of their assignment each week, a photography student may be sent out to shoot production stills on a film production one morning or off to the studio to light and shoot headshots for an actor or dancer one afternoon. In this way, each photography student builds an impressive entertainment portfolio to complement the documentary and fine art work they do in class and on field shoots. This also allows the photography students to mingle and work with other young visual and performing artists, which often leads to future collaborations and, more importantly, friendships that last a lifetime.
