What will you study?

The emphasis of this course is learning by doing. In the first year you will produce a portfolio of coursework. For the externally set assignment you will create ideas in response to one of the five exciting starting points provided. During the course you will learn about and explore a wide range of different approaches to photographic subject matter, media, techniques and processes, discovering where your interests and passion lies.

'Photography is about looking, learning, thinking and communicating ideas. Photography means 'drawing with light' and that is what photographers do when they take a picture. Photographers explore a range of techniques to create images that make a personal statement about things that have interested or concerned them. The most exciting aspect is that you are capturing the world as you see it.'
