Capture Your Future with a Photography Minor
Whether you’re experienced in photography or have never picked up a camera, the Photography Minor at Marist is prepared to help you develop your knowledge of the theory and history of photography and hone your skills in the art.
Chun-Li “Ken” Huang and Ben Thomas Ward: Applying Passion for Photography Into Student Storytelling
Every semester spent at Marist for Ken (left) and Ben (right) has been documented by very experimental and often bizarre short films. Ward and Huang were able to bring this spirit to every future collaboration as they honed their skills behind the camera. Photography from the two has also been featured in the Steel Plant’s own gallery. They also worked together on the Marist Circle’s 2019 special initiative, a short documentary titled “Love, Interpreted.” While they worked side-by-side on every stage of the project, Huang shot much of the principle photography while Ward completed most of the editing.

An Interdisciplinary Photography Curriculum
Although the Photography Minor is housed with the Art and Digital Media Department, it is completely interdisciplinary, which means that students from any major can integrate the minor into their studies. You’ll take classes that help you hone your eye and skills in photography, including:
- History of Photography
- Digital Photography
- Film Camera Photography
- Darkroom Developing and Printing
