Photography - Marlboro College

Photography from Marlboro College is a Campus Bachelor Photography degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. The emphasis on photographic studies as a Plan at Marlboro is fine art in nature, although photography is ideally suited for interdisciplinary work in all fields of study. The course structure emphasizes the study of the medium as a form of personal vision and visual communication. The courses accommodate individual needs and interests and are technically, critically and historically relevant to contemporary culture. Students explore seeing artistically, production of imagery and the possibilities for presentation most appropriate to content. Courses throughout the liberal arts tradition assist students in exploration and development of personal vision. Photography provides us with a means to explore the world and our existence within it. John continually strives to heighten his sensitivity in life, and when he photographs, he chooses subject matter that is important to him. The photographs themselves, as with the process of seeing, must strike him on a personal level in order for him to appreciate an image. As Frederick Sommer liked to say, ?It is not subject matter, but a subject that matters.? John has always attempted to find a balance between aesthetic and communicative concerns. At times, he feels like a modernist in a postmodern world. When he considers himself a postmodernist, it's due to his concern with the social and political implications an image presents from the conception through creation and on to the presentation's final expression. When he considers himself a modernist, it's because he is more invested in the metaphorical interpretations in each step of the process and the image that is ultimately created, and he is always searching to be moved by the image's aesthetic beauty.
