"In The Open is a photographic series based around animals and the human form. I took inspiration from wanting to show the joining of humans and wild animals - the power and strength we both have. Each photo in the series shows a different person with a different animal piece. I came up with the series title “In The Open” because that’s what animals tend to be, they are natural and bare it all - this is why I chose to have the subjects be nude. In the photos the human and animal share some sort of connection to each other and together become one."
- Chyanne Dunham of Chyanne Dunham Photography, NBCCD Alumna
We are proud to feature these images from Chyanne's collection on our banner and viewbook. This exceptional series was completed while she was a student of Karen Ruet's Advanced Digital Project class.
Top secret sneak peeks before the great reveal. Every year, 2nd year Jewellery/Metal Arts students participate in a commission competition. A real client is brought in, interviewed by the students, and they proceed to each create a unique piece based on their needs. One student’s work is then selected and purchased by the client. In a special twist, this year NBCCD is the client, and we are purchasing a piece to take on the road to high schools and community events around the Maritimes. High impact is the name of the game this year and these necklaces are starting to look truly spectacular. Have a peek and see if you can imagine the finished products, and don’t forget to check back next Sunday for the grand reveal!!

We tend to doubt our abilities to do the things we have never tried before.
"Lorraine Hodgins is definitely one of the best people to go to for creative advice on projects. She's got an incredible arsenal of ideas, techniques, and experiences. The amount of time and dedication she puts into her work at the college is truly astounding, and I'm thankful that she's with us at NBCCD to share her knowledge."

Lorraine teaches primarily in Textile Design, passing on her substantial skills in digital textile design, repeat pattern design, product & print design and screen printing. She is a multifaceted instructor who also teaches within Fashion Design & Foundation Visual Arts. #ThankfulThursday
There are so many internet tutorials these days, why would you spend the time & money to take a Diploma in Photography? Let us count the ways:
1. Experienced Instructors: You can’t beat the tips and tricks and problem solving that goes on in the classroom. There’s no replacement for learning directly from professionals working in the industry.
2. Hands-On Training: A computer tutorial can’t grab a hold of your camera and help you with the particular lighting, people, and environment in front of you.
3. Networking: Your instructors are practicing professionals, and they will introduce you to a whole community of photographers and artists.
4. Whole-Photographer Approach: Whether it’s exhibitions, grant writing, pricing, networking, marketing, or business, this program teaches you ALL sides of a photography career.
5. Targeted Critique: A tutorial can’t help you communicate your very particular style. It doesn’t know you and it doesn’t know what you are trying to accomplish. Instructors in small classrooms will help you reach your creative goals through one-on-one and classroom feedback.
6. Professional Studio Equipment: You just don’t have a professional lighting studio, a dark room, and a full suite of photographic equipment and software sitting in your living room. Learn with the best.
The Student Info Session is an annual event which gives students their first introductions to the art, craft, and business communities. We invite in local organisations, and give students the chance to chat with them and get to know the services they offer.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all the participating organisations!!
