The photography qualification will introduce students to a variety of photography and lens-based materials, processes and techniques exploring both traditional and new technologies. The course will develop students’ skills in studio and outdoor photography, gaining an understanding of portraiture, landscape, still-life, documentary, fashion, multimedia and photographic installation. Students will gain a good understanding of the DSLR camera and other traditional photography methods to be able to use the manual settings confidently in producing a professional level of photography outcomes. During the first year students will explore the manual camera settings in a studio and outdoor setting and understand how to manipulate the photographs using a variety of relevant and up to date technology. The qualification has the potential to tailor the personal investigation to each individual student’s interests and needs such as landscape photography or portraiture.
