photography & new media
Photography has always been a vital part of Anderson Ranch, one
in which students explore visual storytelling through a variety of
contexts and concepts. The program has uniquely evolved to focus
on both traditional photography and new media—making it one of
the only workshop settings of its kind. Three floors of the Fischer
Photography Center house state-of-the-art equipment, including
three photography studios, two Mac labs, a traditional darkroom,
and a lighting studio with strobe and continuous lighting for
photography and video. All workshops are rooted in the same idea—powerful art requires
rigorous inquiry into techniques and ideas. We focus on technical
skills, content and critical dialogue. Students have access to color-
managed media labs that are equipped with 21-inch iMacs, flatbed
and film scanners, Epson printers, and cutting-edge software
including Adobe Creative Cloud. When courses permit, students
utilize strobe and tungsten lighting equipment, seamless backdrops,
green screen, audio and video recording equipment and Epson
large-format printers.
