This module engages with a variety of ideas and approaches about what constitutes the idea of a landscape and includes nature, city/urban and social landscape. Through the introduction of both historical and contemporary approaches to a wide range of environments and practitioners you will be required to identify and make photographs in one of these contexts. Working with examples from seminal photographers you will consider the differences in approach to these environments and practitioners, and go on to produce a portfolio of photographs that explore in depth a particular aspect of an environment that interests you.

Choice of texts will depend upon the area of landscape photography undertaken in module.
