Two second-year Photographic Technology students from Randolph Community College, three RCC graduates, and instructor Ashley Fetner brought home awards recently from the Professional Photographers of North Carolina Annual Print Competition Convention in Raleigh.
Meghan Barrett of Graham and Rafael Medel of Winston-Salem, both second-year students in the Portrait Studio Management concentration of the Photographic Technology program, won Gold Corner awards.
Graduates from 2007 who won awards were Matt Carlson, Gold Corner award; Erin Arsenault, Gold Corner award and Court of Honor Ribbon; and Laura Wessell, Gold Corner award, Court of Honor Ribbon and 3rd Place-Pets and Animals. Portrait photography instructor Ashley Fetner also won a Gold Corner award and a Court of Honor Ribbon.
This was a Southeastern Professional Photographers Association year, which means the Court of Honor Ribbon winners will go on to display and compete at the Professional Photographers of America National Convention.
Randolph Community College's Photographic Technology, Art and Design department brings the College's renowned Advertising & Graphic Design, Interior Design, and Photographic Technology programs under one academic umbrella. In addition to their specialized training, students in each of the programs are introduced to concepts from the other disciplines. Photographic Technology students have a choice of four concentrations: Biocommunications Photography, Commercial Photography, Photojournalism, and Portrait Studio Management.
