Photography

This two-year Foundation Degree teaches core technical and studio skills, including lighting, camera operation, darkroom practice and location work. The course is affiliated with a professional photography association. The focus is on commercial work, with an emphasis on candid moments, shaped with working photographers. Students study composition and the history of the medium, and work on tabletop, people and editorial projects in a purpose-built studio. Graduates are prepared to work as well-rounded photographers across commercial and editorial markets. Students also build a portfolio that demonstrates their photographic range. The emphasis on studio technique means students graduate with hands-on confidence. Students also study how photographic practice has changed over time. The course runs for two years. It is studied full-time. Teaching is based at the Rye Hill Campus. The next start date is 13th September 2027.
