Explore how new technologies and methodologies are synthetising into photographic practice and their impact on contemporary approaches to image making. Learn and explore multiple avenues of inquiry that incorporate traditional documentary practice, digital image making, experimental film and software-based work. Develop best practice and skill sets for storytelling through the lens.
This programme promotes the synergy of theoretical perspectives and practical methodologies in the production of work to foster critically engaged image makers: you will learn to promote and scrutinise your own professional practices. Multi-element modules reflect each of the technical, conceptual and critical contexts of the core principles of the programme, thus allowing for the application of multiple medias and multiple practices: from analogue traditions of photography to cutting edge digital media solutions for the moving image. This approach enables you to respond to the fast-changing pace within the field of creative media arts.
