Berlin: The City as Portrait

in
 

Students spent seventeen days photographing and experiencing Berlin, one the world’s most vibrant and thriving art centers. This limited-enrollment class was led by Just Loomis (BFA 80 Photography), former assistant to Helmut Newton. Loomis has taught numerous workshops and exhibited extensively in Berlin; and students had access to his network of curators, gallerists and colleagues.

Highlights included gallery/studio visits, a behind-the-scenes tour of the world-renowned Newton Foundation and walking tours with local artists, who articulated their own authentic and personal understanding of the neighborhoods of Kreuzberg and Mitte.

In addition to this structured time, students were encouraged to independently discover the city through their own portraiture, architecture and socio-political photography to inform a final series of images capturing particular area of interest and investigation.

Interview with Instructor Just Loomis

How would you describe this class to prospective students?

This class is an immersive study abroad class in Berlin using contemporary photography as the basis for investigation, production and research. It is a project-based class that requires diligent photographic inquiry into a specific aspect of Berlin life and/or culture.

Alumni Damon Casarez, River Jordan named two of PDN's 30 Emerging Photographers

in
 

PDN announced 2016's 30 New and Emerging Photographers to Watch, which included two ArtCenter Photo alumni. Congratulations, River Jordan and Damon Casarez!

We view this yearly issue as a celebration of emerging talent, but it’s also a reflection of the photography industry. These photographers’ stories not only highlight their willingness to learn the business and what it means to be professionals, they also demonstrate the impact experienced photographers—those willing to teach, to encourage and to make connections for others—can have in helping to define what professionalism will mean to new generations of photographers. - Conor Risch, PDN Editor

Profiles on each of the 2016 PDN’s 30 photographers are featured in PDN’s April 2016 issue. See more at: http://www.pdns30.com/gallery/2016

Welcome to our new website for Photography & Imaging at ArtCenter College of Design. The college has an 80-year history of remarkably talented alumni working in every field of art and design, all over the world.

Photography was one of ArtCenter’s first established departments and continues to be seen as a critical area of study that adds a dimension and perspective to all the other departmental curriculums and specializations. Our compact department is designed to be the right size for our learning environment, configured to achieve a quality of excellence for every student and agile enough to address the almost constant conceptual and technical changes in our medium.

I am Dennis Keeley, the Department Chair, and it is my pleasure to have a space to share with people that have an interest in education, photography, image-making, careers, technology, media and culture, history and the future. This site will be our department’s messaging site to share schedules, special events, student work, and resources. I look forward to having this site reflect the diversity of contemporary dialogues about the intentions, reflections and expectations of teachers, students and image-makers from many points of view.
