Photography 1: Digital Photographic Practice

Core Requirement for BA Hons Photography
Elective Option for BA Hons Creative Arts

One of the key purposes of this photography course is to develop your photographic skills in terms of the quality of the images you produce. Specifically, to ensure that whatever equipment you own you can produce the best quality images for print or web. In the increasingly democratic world of digital photography these skills are essential to make your work stand out.

A second key purpose of this course is to start you thinking about images and ethics; photographs are representations of fact or as expressions of your personal vision. The many small changes which are possible in digital images can enhance an image or mislead a viewer. In your learning log you will think about images you see and your reactions and how it informs your practice.

The course is written to form a coherent level one undergraduate programme when taken in conjunction with Art of Photography and People and Place. Student studying for a degree cannot take this course in conjunction with its forerunner Introduction to Digital Photography.
