Photography

Course summary

During this first stage of the course students will learn and build on the basic skills of photography. You will develop a deeper understanding of a DSLR camera and its settings, compositional techniques, studio lighting and Photoshop skills. So, it doesn’t matter if you haven’t studied Photography before. You will explore and develop ideas and imagery based upon areas of fine art and commercial photography, where you will research and critically analyse photographers and other industry professionals in order to create your own individual response to these themes. After this you will specialise in an area of Personal investigation which has two integrated elements: a portfolio of practical work and a related study which explores the context in which your chosen practical area of study exists.
