Photography Courses

In your last semester, you’ll engage in a required internship and be challenged to create work that’s provocative, evocative, relevant, and timeless. You’ll develop and consolidate your photographic craft, research, contextual knowledge and project development skills. Through technical inductions and workshops, you’ll build your practical photographic skills, from working with professional studio equipment through to the use of moving image and colour darkroom printing. This module also introduces the relevance of historical and contemporary approaches in image making to enable you to contextualise and develop critical and reflective research skills. In this module you are asked to respond to the construction of meaning and narrative in relation to both still and moving images.

  • British Journal of Photography are always looking for new contributors to join our global network of talented writers.
  • We’ve brought together some of the greatest master photographers in the world to offer a series of easy to follow online photography courses that will inspire photographers of all levels to create better images on any device.
  • Each class gives you lifetime access to a master photographer’s inspirational methods and techniques.
  • Optical snoots are great ways to get creative images with crisp edges, but you are limited by the horrible gobo collections.
  • Workshops and seminars about techniques of artistic display, curatorial themes and audience relationships.

Opportunities to gain knowledge and experience of collaborative working and socially engaged art practice. To test and explore the creative possibilities and limits of photography. A program with a co-op (co-operative education) component means that the curriculum combines an in-class education along with hands-on experience of working a job in the program’s field of study. Program requirements could include co-ops, placements, volunteer requirements, practical labs, field projects, assignments, clinicals, or any other off-campus visits required as part of the program’s curriculum. Applications are evaluated based on published admission requirements. When the applicant provides proof of meeting the requirements, an offer of admission can be issued, provided space is available in the program.

EVENTS + EXHIBITIONS

For instance, a photocopy or xerography machine forms permanent images but uses the transfer of static electrical charges rather than photographic medium, hence the term electrophotography. Photograms are images produced by the shadows of objects cast on the photographic paper, without the use of a camera. Objects can also be placed directly on the glass of an image scanner to produce digital pictures. Digital methods of image capture and display processing have enabled the new technology of “light field photography” . This process allows focusing at various depths of field to be selected after the photograph has been captured. As explained by Michael Faraday in 1846, the “light field” is understood as 5-dimensional, with each point in 3-D space having attributes of two more angles that define the direction of each ray passing through that point.

In parallel to this development, the then largely separate interface between painting and photography was closed in the early 1970s with the work of the photo artists Pierre Cordier , Chemigram and Josef H. Neumann, Chemogram. This Neumann chemogram from the seventies of the 20th century thus differs from the beginning of the previously created cameraless chemigrams of a Pierre Cordier and the photogram Man Ray or László Moholy-Nagy of the previous decades. The first permanent color photograph was taken in 1861 using the three-color-separation principle first published by Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell in 1855. The foundation of virtually all practical color processes, Maxwell’s idea was to take three separate black-and-white photographs through red, green and blue filters. This provides the photographer with the three basic channels required to recreate a color image. Transparent prints of the images could be projected through similar color filters and superimposed on the projection screen, an additive method of color reproduction.

Images from sketch books or supporting work alongside final outcomes. These help us see your working process and indicate developing research, interests and influences. To produce written work or a digital portfolio that presents your work and ideas. To work alongside third year students helping with degree show outcomes. To critically contextualise an artist’s work through written essay or presentation, based on relevant texts, theories or ideas. To create and present an artist’s manifesto that expresses the context for your practice.

You’ll also have access to Blackboard – a virtual learning environment where teaching materials and announcements will be available to you. Take a look at the Photography News work some of our final year students have produced on this course. The Second Place prize is forKelley DallasofUnited Statesand her imageGirl with the Violin.

In this module you are introduced to traditional and more experimental approaches to image capture and basic digital post-production including Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Over six weeks students learn about space, place and environments, mapping, and more diverse presentation methods. In addition to this, students are introduced to historical and contemporary debate in relation to the representation of landscape, space/ place, authorship, and the city. As you progress into your second year, you’ll get a better understanding of photography in a professional context. You’ll learn about the opportunities that are available to you and how you can make a living from photography. As well as that, you will also develop your skills and understanding in areas such as moving image, experimental image making and exhibiting.
