You will study location photographic techniques (including architectural) through lectures, research, demonstrations, project development and production. Applying the photographic skills learned in previous modules, you will further develop your abilities with silver and digital processes, applied camera techniques including large format. You will also develop your awareness of contemporary and historical photographers and artists who apply (or have applied) similar techniques. Learning will include the pre-planning of shoots rather than spontaneous working and the critical analysis of your work alongside your peers.
Graduate Attributes: Global Citizen, Adaptable.
This module offers you insights into photography both as a global industry whilst also relating to the professional outputs that are taught within the practice-led modules you are studying. A key aim of the module is to prepare you for individual trajectory into photography as a profession in preparation for work related activities. The module will investigate a range of current photographic pathways through research visits, lectures and later individual discussion. This will allow for the development of an individually negotiated pathway. The module will encourage you to become familiar with current work-related opportunities related to your learning thus preparing you for industrial experience.
The aim of this module is to develop your knowledge and understanding of the wider concepts, debates and commentaries surrounding photography. Learning will focus on historical, contemporary and possible future developments within the sphere of photography whilst allowing you to prepare evidence of your own research as an underpinning element of your photographic journey. The module aims to develop conceptual thinking within historical and contemporary photographic discourse. Research and study skills are an integral part of the module and blended learning forms part of the delivery process, such as electronic checking of written work and participating in online discussions and research.

Your final assessment will be a 2-3minute documentary that demonstrates your competence in technical skills, visual competency, and research, this will also be evidenced in a viva voce presentation
This module asks you to creatively engage with the technical and theoretical aspects of the photographic studio, focusing on developing your understanding and control of studio flash in making creative imagery. The module will address how diverse the photographic studio process has been and continues to be in the formation of images made within this environment, through focusing on key photographers. You will advance your photographic studio lighting skill and engage with different camera formats and industry software. You will respond to a variety of technically and creatively diverse tasks and assignments to produce a set of photographic images.
We embed practical and current industry trends that allow students to explore a dedicated pathway relevant to their career aspirations with a strong focus around employability and enterprise.
The module will help students to build on research to inform their wider practice and will also challenge their ability to set goals and to solve problems – developing critical awareness of their own work.
Module components are designed to be run in conjunction with other modules during semester 1 and utilise complimentary practical components that build on other modules taught alongside this one.
