Photography
Photography students work in both black and white and color, and use both analog and digital processes. Projects vary depending on year and instructor, but there is consistent emphasis on self-awareness, innovation, and excellence.
Photography at the University of Victoria is focused on the theory and practice of the medium in the broad arena of contemporary international art. Students will be expected to achieve a level of technical expertise in analog black and white photography, and to think critically, theoretically, and conceptually about the photographic images they create, and those that surround us in the vernacular.
The Department of Visual Arts sees photo-based art as a distinct discipline, rather than a medium to document other disciplines. Instructors encourage students to expand the medium and incorporate it into other disciplines such as sculpture, video, digital media, and installation.
