Program Overview

The Master of Professional Studies in Digital Photography is a one-year degree program that addresses the technical and creative needs of professional photographers, photographic educators, and visual arts professionals who are looking to advance their skills in digital image capture, asset management and high-quality output. The program benefits greatly from both its outstanding faculty and its location in the heart of the photo district in New York City. Our instructors are working professionals with extensive expertise in professional photography and digital-imaging technologies. In addition, a variety of guest lecturers from the industry will complement the core faculty to further enrich each student's learning experience.

Upon successful completion of the program, students will be thoroughly versed in digital imaging tools, terms and techniques; including critical networking issues, workflow strategies, color management applications and current business practices; making our graduates highly employable and prepared for the rigors of contemporary digital image-making. We welcome those who wish to embrace the challenge of mastering the latest tools and techniques to create technically perfect and aesthetically compelling images.

 Faculty Profile
 Katrin   Eismann

 
I teach at SVA for one reason and one reason only: I love the creative process. In my classes I hope to instill a passion, fascination, and thirst for making better images. I encourage all students to push boundaries, question the norm, and surprise themselves and everyone around them. The SVA faculty, facilities, and fellow students encourages everyone to discover, push, probe, take risks, make mistakes, start all over again, and simply fall in love with what you're working on.
