SCAD alumnus Jahmad Balugo (Culver City, California) shot high fashion at Marc Jacobs before founding his own photography studio in New York.
Through their lenses, photographers show us the beauty of the world in art, architecture, fashion, nature, and everyday life. At SCAD, students are taught the full spectrum of photography, from historic and analog processes to the newest digital technologies that push the medium beyond traditional constraints. SCAD courses are designed to help students develop their own creative vision, master visual literacy, and launch their careers — where they snap everything from high-profle fashion in exotic locales to fuorescent-tinged Instagram posts that go viral. The undergraduate SCAD curriculum gives students an opportunity to customize their studies through concentrations in commercial, documentary, and fne art photography. Graduate students develop a body of work uniquely anchored to their artistic vision and specifcally mapped to their career goals. Students gain fuency with a variety of camera systems, digital workfows, color and black-and-white techniques, compositing and editing, studio and location lighting, and video shooting and editing, developing expertise through tailored study and faculty mentorship.
Outside the classroom, SCAD photography students draw inspiration from frequent exhibitions at SCAD museums and galleries, win top honors like the Communication Arts Magazine Photography Competition, and gain real experience in coveted internships.Students have interned for Annie Leibovitz, Ford Models, Hearst Magazines, The Richard Avedon Foundation, Time Inc., Turner Broadcasting, and others. Graduates join a list of globetrotting SCAD photography alumni who snap supermodels in exotic locations for GQ, Vogue, and more; capture nature and wildlife vignettes on location in Peru; publish their own books and magazines; and exhibit their whimsical imagery in museums from New York to Seoul.
