Student Work]
SOCAPA offers a three-week summer program in traditional
and digital photography with a strong emphasis on capturing
images for the Entertainment Industry. Students take classes
in studio and portrait photography, photojournalism, documentary,
fine art photography and photoshop.
Our summer photography program is closely tied to our acting,
filmmaking and dance programs. As part of their assignment
each week, a photography student may be sent out to shoot
production stills on a film production one morning, then
off to the studio to light and shoot headshots for an actor
that afternoon, and then back to the main stage to shoot
publicity photos of the dance group during their rehearsal.
In this way, each photography student builds an impressive
entertainment portfolio to compliment the documentary and
fine art work they do in class and on field shoots. This
also allows the photography students to mingle and work
with other young visual and performing artists, which often
leads to future collaborations and, more importantly, friendships
that last a lifetime.
