About the Programme/course Motion Picture Photography or Cinematography is more than the mere art of photography – it is the process of taking ideas, words, actions, emotional subtext, tone and all other forms of non-verbal communication and rendering them in visual terms.
This is a course taught by a team of full time academic staff and some supporting staff. This department is responsible for teaching the theory and skills related to cinematography.

The Photography department exists to transform potential talents into highly artistic and creative media professionals through rigorous academic environment and hands-on production based programs that closely parallel challenges of the real world.
The department does not only aim to produce cinematographers- but cinematographers with good interdisciplinary skills of the various filmmaking departments, which will enable them to work in any role offered them in the industry should their services be needed.
