This programme will teach the Art of Photography and develop the students’ artistic, academic and intellectual capabilities. Students will learn the creative use of 35mm SLR and digital camera equipment. Traditional Black and White film processing, darkroom print making and image manipulation will be central to the course. Colour photography will be explored through digital media and ‘Photoshop’. Studio photography will be taught in the second year. Emphasis will be placed on encouraging students to work independently, experimentally and to create personal responses to the creative project themes. Appreciation of the art form will be enhanced through research studies of historical and contemporary photographers. In addition to the organised trips students are required to attend galleries and organise location shoots. Work will be developed and completed in journals/photographic portfolios.
