Aperture
Aperture is a newly expanded photography studio that will be used by all students at the Art Institutes International Minnesota. This exciting addition will include a number of different studios, from smaller individual shooting boxes to larger rooms equipped for natural or artificial settings. These spaces will also be free for the public to use as well. Any person interested in getting a free photo shoot with a student can make an appointment to use the indoor studios, as well as the ground level and roof top garden areas. The design will be inspired and tied back to the sculpture by incorporating natural elements within the space such as metal, wood, stone, and glass. Instead of just shooting photos in front of a white screen, this materials will be used to create unique and unforgettable photos.
