What is the difference between a BFA and BA in Arts/Photography?
I am applying to schools and wants to stay here in NYC. There’s a few private schools that costs a lot but offers BFA.

The following is the answer:

Answer by sant kabir
No difference.

Answer by Rach
Bachelor of the Arts: undergraduate degree in either liberal arts, the sciences, or both/ Bachelor of Fine Arts: the standard undergraduate degree in the visual or performing arts

Answer by gir’frind08
The BFA is a slightly more prestigious degree. At least at my school, the difference was that the BFA degree meant you took more classes specific to your concentration, the Photography classes. The BA would be more generalized, an “Art” degree vs. a “Photography” degree. The BA required more classes in areas outside the art department though. I’m sure this varies from school to school so I would contact advisors to ask what the classes difference will come down to.

Good luck!

simple the bachelor of fine arts (BFA) has more art credits in its requirements than a bachelor of arts degree (BA) thats all it means. just means you will take more art classes than say math or science classes. its meant so you can focus more on your degree at hand (i.e. photography) with classes that apply to it versus taking a math that wouldnt help too much in your field.

Smoke Art – Arrow


Image by Feggy Art
Photographing smoke art is one of the most rewarding aspects of home photography. We’ve all seen the wispy strands that float and glide through the air, but it’s not until these trails are frozen in time do we see the true beauty and elegance of their construction.

In many images it’s possible to see a subject within the smoke.

The advantage of smoke art photography is that – compared to water droplets – the patterns take longer to form so it’s easier to judge when to take the shot. It’s when the scene is viewed on the screen that the true diversity and uniqueness of the patterns is realised.

This was processed in Photoshop to highlight the patterns that exist within the formations.
