Photography is an ever expanding medium employed in many contexts including fashion, advertising, journalism, medicine, science and industry, art and design and as a leisure pastime. This course examines a diverse range of techniques, ideas and images relevant to the practice of photography. Students will have the opportunity to develop skills in traditional and new photographic technologies, through exploration of portraiture, landscape, still life, documentary, abstraction and experimental imagery, in the studio and on location. The course is intended for those who are interested in studying the principles, aesthetics and role of photography as a means of communicating ideas and information. Students are expected to demonstrate this through practical and critical/ contextual activities. Photography combines well with most other subjects from humanities, sciences and business management areas of study.

Access to both digital and film SLR cameras, while not being essential, is strongly recommended, particularly in the second year of the course. Students will be required to buy and keep sketch-books for written research, notes, diagrams, plans, sketches, ideas and work in progress. Writing materials are essential. An Art portfolio is a useful way of storing photographic prints; you may purchase one of these from the College Shop. Materials for mounting and presentation are also available from the shop.
