Photography 2: Progressing with Digital Photography

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

In this newly written course you will find a stronger emphasis on the practice of photography than before, and in particular a focus on professional standards. In most cases, the projects and assignments will direct you beyond the basic and technical aspects of creating a successful image. The course sets photography in the context of how it is to be used and how it will be seen. Between them, the assignments cover three areas: the planning and taking of photographs to professional standards, editing skills, and the ability to read and write analytically on photographs and photography.

Some uses of photography - in a published print layout, on the cover of a book - involve skills that many people would regard as being secondary to photography itself. However, professional photographers who work in the areas covered in the course generally make it their business to become thoroughly familiar with typography, the juxtaposition of one photography against another, and web presentation methods such as the on-screen slide show. These are all areas that are covered in this course to prepare you for the five course assignments.
