This module investigates what photographic practices are being accepted in the fine art market, it will identify both key contemporary practitioners/artists and dominant pictorial themes such as identity, re-enactment, deadpan, narrative and the banal. This is an exciting time for photography as the medium enjoys a healthy position among other more traditional forms of art to be found in major museums and galleries. It is being considered for major art prizes such as The Turner Prize won by Wolfgang Tillmans in 2002 and actively collected by key individuals and institutions.

This module is designed to introduce you to challenging works asking you to consider both the intentions of the author as well as the finished work. You will be encouraged to produce an individual creative solution to the practical brief producing a set of photographic prints, which are informed by conceptual and theoretical debates.
