Course Information

This course aims to develop a visually expressive generation of fashion documentary, editorial, portrait and advertising photographers. If you want to push creative boundaries then join us to set the agenda for commercial photography. We provide a strong technical foundation and encourage creative and conceptual awareness, a practical approach combined with a critical and analytical ability to develop your ‘visual voice’.

You will study a range of image capture and postproduction techniques appropriate to the professional photographic industry. You will develop an understanding of the relationship between the analogue and the digital darkroom.
