If you have a creative streak and take notice of textures, colors, facial expressions, and other details of the world around you, photography may become more than simply a fun hobby. An impressive number of visual arts opportunities exist in both business and ministry. Maranatha’s Photography minor will prepare you to be an effective employee and servant.
The program will give you a working knowledge of cameras and equipment. You will be able to create professional-grade images for church presentations or missionaries. You will learn to successfully plan, photograph, and process images from weddings, sports events, scenery, and portraits. Editing techniques, both elementary and advanced, are also part of the program.
The Photography minor is designed to provide you with the artistic and technical skills to produce professional-grade images in both film and digital photography.
