PHOTOGRAPHY
Certificate of Achievement

Anyone with an interest in photography, whether beginner, advanced amateur or professional, will find a course or program within the photography program that will teach them new skills or prepare them for a career in photography.
The OCC Photography program is intended to prepare students for employment in a number of specialization areas within the field of professional photography.

The student, after completing the first year foundation courses, may elect to take advanced courses in commercial photography, advertising illustration, portraiture, architectural photography, fashion photography, documentary photography, multi-media presentations, photo journalism, retouching and business practices for photographers.

In addition to courses intended to train photographers, the program also includes several black and white and color laboratory classes for professional photographers who wish to learn new skills or for those who are interested in careers as photographic laboratory technicians.
