Calling All Business Owners: Fuel Creative Innovation with Us!


At Allegheny College, we're shaping the next generation of photographers who are passionate about using their creative lens to drive change and make an impact. Our Photography course goes beyond the art of capturing moments; it's about empowering students to explore the role and potential of the photographic medium in today's society.


Learners in this program/experience can create content for print and online mediums, take impactful photographs, as well as use effective layout design principles. Additionally, students are capable of crafting compelling stories on a variety of topics, adjusting photos and laying out content using industry-standard software.


We're seeking business owners who are as passionate about collaboration as we are. Your ideal project should have a clear business problem statement. Projects can range from research-focused to task-focused or even a blend of both. We appreciate partners who are open to negotiating project scope, ensuring it's a win-win for all involved.
