What You Will Study

Once you have gained a solid, technical grounding you will start to explore areas such as:

  • Portraiture
  • Still life
  • Product photography
  • Experimental imagery
  • Multimedia
  • Photographic and art installations
  • Moving image (video, film, animation)

You will learn about the visual elements artists and photographers use in their work and consider the creative power of imagery. Challenges will require you to respond to issues in a very personal way. At all times you will be developing a deep understanding of your chosen focused pathway.
