I am interested in the School of Visual Arts for a few reasons; first I am interested in it because of it's location. Located in the heart of New York City, it is in the middle of a huge mecca for arts and that alone is a huge advantage. I would like to relocate to NYC at some point for a little while; second it has 19 graduate programs, several of which I am interested in, but for the purposes of this entry I am going to focus on their MPS in Digital Photography.
I know a friend who is attending SVA for his Undergrad studies and he really has had a great experience there. While I was in NYC I went to one of their Graduate exhibitions. The gallery was located in Chelsea, right near the High Line. Perfect location in the middle of all of the upscale art galleries there. All of the work presented was excellent and I really enjoyed seeing the difference in the work between VCU Graduates and SVA graduates.
The MPS in Digital Photography really places a great importance in technical skills. Graduates from the program are often hired at some of the best studios and labs around. "The program benefits greatly from both its outstanding faculty and its location in the heart of the photo district in New York City. Our instructors are working professionals with extensive expertise in professional photography and digital-imaging technologies. In addition, a variety of guest lecturers from the industry complement the core faculty to further enrich each student's learning experience."

Bio:
"Fashion and Beauty Photographer | New York City
I am very much intrigued in the unpredictable results obtained from the experiment between a subject and myself. The discovery of a model’s charisma, mood, and emotion at the exact moment the shutter clicks is what makes “fashion imagery” more than a mere shot. No outlined storyboard or plan is needed. Staying within preset lines causes the magic of that connection to be lost. Yes, I do start with a concept in my head but once I’m on set I just let the energy guide my subject and I through the creation of each image.
Color, flare, and beauty are my addictions. My heart serves as guide – it never fails. My inspiration is unpredictable but its beauty precise. I see it, touch it, feel it, smell it; I find it everywhere.
All of my images capture the unique and irreplaceable beauty of a model’s essence – nothing else is enough to please my demand for utmost expression.
My desire to reach perfection is an obsession. It’s an insane illusion that will never happen but it fuels my Art.
