“I believe that the solid technical understanding of the media I acquired at CMC will help me immensely in my future career. I think that in any area of photography, dominating the technique is crucial to evolve as a photographer and develop your own style. My goal is to become a documentary photographer and I think the instruction obtained in the program was a great start.” — Elizabeth Moreno received two grants from the State Foundation for Culture and the Arts in Mexico to pursue photographic projects. Shortly after graduation, her work was featured in a full page story in Shutterbug Magazine. Read more about Elizabeth’s work and philosophy. |

"CMC opened the doors to the beginning of a very fun and exciting career. The technical aspects of photography are demanding and to get in the door anywhere you have to be able to demonstrate a great understanding of all the things that go into creating images. I left CMC with the knowledge and understanding to then become the assistant to some of the best photographers in the world who shot for magazines such as Vogue, Esquire, Rolling Stone, GQ, and advertising clients, such as Ford, Mercedes Benz, and Toyota. I have traveled around the world working for photographers and for myself. It all started with my choice of CMC. The location is amazing. I have never lived in a more beautiful place since." - Beau Gustafson is now living in Birmingham, Alabama where he is the main contributing photographer for Brimingham Magazine while keeping his other clients happy shooting food, fashion, still life and portraits for advertising, magazines and books. |
