A BA degree is just a Bachelors of Art, and a BFA degree is a Bachelors of Fine Arts. Usually Fine Arts degrees have a more rigorous fine art curriculum and require a portfolio for acceptance into the institution. So it really depends on what you want to do with your degree. If you just want a basic degree in Photography, a BA (or even a BS) would do you just fine. However, if you want to go into the area of Fine Art photography, then I would recommend a BFA.

What is the difference between a degree in bachelors in arts and a bachelors in fine arts?

The Bachelor of Fine Arts, usually abbreviated BFA, is the standard undergraduate degree for students seeking a professional education in the visual or performing arts. Also named in some countries the Bachelor of Creative Arts or BCA. At Oxford University, the degree is named Bachelor of Fine Art. The degree differs from a Bachelor of Arts degree in that the majority of the program consists of a practical studio component, as contrasted with lecture and discussion classes. A typical BFA program consists of two-thirds study in the arts, with one-third in more general liberal arts studies; for a BA in Art, the ratio might be reversed. The National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), which accredits BFA programs in the United States, states that "the professional degree (BFA) focuses on intensive work in the visual arts supported by a program of general studies," whereas "the liberal arts degree (BA) focuses on art and design in the context of a broad program of general studies." A BFA degree will often require an area of specialty such as: acting, musical theatre, ceramics, creative writing, dance, drawing, fiber, film production, graphic design, illustration, industrial design, interior design, metalworking, new media, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, or television production. Some schools instead give their students a broad education in many disciplines of the arts. Although a BFA is traditionally considered a four-year degree, a BFA program may take longer to complete because of the amount of studio course work required. Source: Answers.com
