Fine Art – Media – Photography – Intermediate

During the 11 week course students are encouraged to explore 3 projects. This gives students of varying interests the chance to pursue photography in areas that are most relevant to them and to develop the skills that they feel necessary to achieve these goals. In tandem with this project/workshop approach students are introduced to the history of photography, studio skills, darkroom techniques and greater camera control. There is also an opportunity for students to explore a pinhole photography project. Amongst the theoretical and appreciation topics discussed are: history of photography; portraiture and landscape, architectural and fine art, commercial and travel photography. Students are referred to photographers and other artists who may be of interest with respect to their individual projects. At the end of the course students will have deepened their knowledge of photographic techniques and be more independent in their approach to a chosen subject.

This course is suitable for students considering the Certificate in Photography and Digital Imaging (P+DI)
