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 Photography workshops are rooted in the same idea—
powerful art requires rigorous inquiry of techniques and
ideas. We focus on technical skills, content and critical
dialog. Students have access to color-managed media
labs equipped with 21-inch iMacs, flatbed and film
scanners, Epson printers, and cutting-edge software
including Adobe Creative Cloud. When appropriate,
students utilize strobe and tungsten lighting equipment,
seamless backdrops, green screen, audio and video
recording equipment and Epson large-format printers.
