This course encourages you to develop a personal visual language as a photographer and help you improve the quality of your practical work. You plan and negotiate the content of your programme with your tutor. It must include a major project on a theme which you choose yourself. You will also explore in detail a chosen genre of photography and three major movements which have influenced twentieth century photography.

This course was written for the OCA by best selling photography author Michael Freeman.

  • The continuing importance of composition
  • Photography themes
  • Theoretical studies in twentieth century photography
  • Researching different ways photographers have approached the medium
  • A major personal project.


The course will explore the tension between intent and process in creating photographic images; extend your ability to communicate a wide range of visual experiences into information which can be translated into photographs; investigate the theories and concepts underlying your chosen projects; make innovative use of means of expression and technique; deepen your understanding of photography.
