The mat-cutting area
The mat-cutting area allows students to measure and cut their own large-format archival boards, clean with compressed air, retouch, and professionally prepare artwork for on and off campus exhibitions. Each student also has additional flat-file and cabinetry storage space for her or his own personal equipment and material. This area also has two light tables and a daylight print viewing station.
Lighting Studio
Our Photography Area lighting studio can be subdivided into three working bays with wireless studio strobe heads and mono-lights. In addition to a sliding adjustable accordion overhead lighting system, we also deploy more traditional softbox and parabolic reflector-type systems that can be used with or without baffled honeycomb gridspots. The studio is equipped with enough peripheral and grip equipment to successfully outfit each bay for both table top, portraiture, and set work.
