Course details
This course is an introduction to fine art digital photography orientating the student’s image-making within the context of a fine art college and the discourse of contemporary photography. The course starts with a basic introduction to operating a digital camera and processing, followed by presentations on contemporary and historical image-makers plus group discussions with students formulating themes for projects. This course values peer exchanges; students are led to recognise and value their own vision alongside gaining technical skills in camera use and digital printing to best express that vision. Students will have access to macs with photoshop, the photographic studio with a studio lighting session, and printers for producing work. Students will be expected to develop their projects outside of the class-time for analysis and discussion within contact hours. Final assessment is by way of a portfolio of images with accompanying evidence of research and learning. Award
