Chairman's Message

We are aiming to educate a group of people who are responsive to the environment, to the  age they are living in, to the humanity and to the nature.  We try to shape up the curriculum of Photography and Video Department,on the thin philosophical line between the difference of looking and seeing.

We are trying to educate people to resist a monotype human generation created by the globalization. And also individuals who question everything instead of accepting what is first offered, moreover who can discover the different worlds behind what is seen.  And also people who can bring out aesthetical designs from an ordinary object and create the depth of the third dimension onto the two dimensional surface of the photography and video media.

Photography and Video Department offers a full range of conceptual, critical, aesthetical and technical approaches to the contemporary video and photographic media practice while supporting students' individual interests and methodology. Our graduates work as image makers both in photography and video fields of media, in agencies and also as freelancers, to turn their own artistic visions into messages for media.
