Study in the UK

Spend time learning in the UK with our students for one or more terms with our Study Abroad courses.

Commercial Photography

Semester Study Abroad courses are for students and professionals who wish to spend time abroad, developing their creative skills and gaining credits towards their university degree, but don't necessarily want to spend 2-3 years in another country.

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.
