MATTHEW BAUM

My role as a photography teacher is to provide my students with a fertile learning environment, empowering them to develop aesthetically, technically and conceptually. I encourage informed, self-motivated investigation and discovery while emphasizing both awareness of photography's history as a medium and the development of visual literacy. Because as photographers, it is our job to communicate something meaningful through the language of images.
