GIT Commercial Photography Studio

The GIT Commercial Photography Studio at ASU is located in the Technology Center on the Polytechnic campus. The studio is designed as a complete working professional photographic studio with two shooting bays outfitted with state of the art digital cameras and lighting equipment. Graphic Information Technology majors can specialize in digital photography and attend classes that range from introductory to advanced studio management. In the Commercial Digital Photography class, students experience creating a catalog sheet from conception through propping, shooting, and final 4-color output in print. Issues such as color conversion, resolution, formatting and metadata are explored in addition to lighting techniques and camera technology.

There are many career opportunities in this field as the entire publishing and advertising industry moves to a complete digital workflow. From shooting to studio management to coordinating production of collateral, this area of study provides a student with the ability to succeed in the graphics industry.
