You don’t have to purchase high end equipment to learn photography. Ohlone College already provides it.
Paul Mueller, Photography Director:
We have all the cameras that you could possibly, possibly imagine. We have cameras. We have computers, we have tripods. We have lighting equipment.
REPORTER (V/O):
Ohlone College’s photography department offers courses that go beyond using a DSLR.
Anna Godfrey, Game Design Major:
I think it’ll be a good way to get an understanding of sort of cinematography in a way, and being able to pose and shoot photos and film in certain ways.
Brandon Tran, Film and Theatre Major:
So far we’ve done photographs. You know, it’s black and white. No color on it,kind of like an x-ray.
Brandon Tran, Film and Theatre Major:
I like that It’s very hands-on, very practical to go into it right away on the first day.
REPORTER (V/O): Through the program’s facilities, students are exploring their interest in photography.
Brandon Tran, Film and Theatre Major:
I was always interested in film talk. Even so, as teenagers, I had a digital film camera thing.
REPORTER (V/O): Paul Mueller, the head of the program, worked with architects to make the facility a home for photographers.
Paul Mueller, Photography Director:
We’re standing here in one of the classrooms, which is a kind of a digital classroom meant for using laptops and printing and projecting. And we can project from every room.
Paul Mueller, Photography Director:
We also have a traditional film darkroom, a wet darkroom, where you process images in trays and there’s a place to process film and to load film.
Paul Mueller, Photography Director:
We’re really proud of this facility. We’ve built the place that we would most like to have if we were students and the place we, frankly, I most want to teach in.
REPORTER (V/O):
If you’re interested in learning photography, you can contact Paul Mueller at pmueller@ohlone.edu for more information on the program.
