You will present a body of coursework for assessment, including:

A visual diary documenting your research activities [Learning Outcomes 1,2]
A pictorial development workbook evidencing technical and picture-making strategies [ Learning Outcomes 1,3,4]
A carefully produced and presented portfolio of photographs [Learning Outcomes 1,2]
A 1500 - 2000 word essay on a historical aspect of photographic practice [Learning Outcome 5].

This module offers you the opportunity to explore and investigate, through an intensive engagement with the medium, the pictorial elements available to photographers in the effective communication of observations about the world around us. It encourages you to engage with photographic practices that place the emphasis on 'making' rather than 'taking' photographs. You will learn how to 'see' photographically, by considering and practising your use of framing, awareness of light and your picture-making skills in general. You will learn more advanced exposure, development and printing controls and be introduced to studio lighting.
