Capturing an image today has never been easier but making a good photograph is as illusive as ever.
What makes a good photograph and how do we assess photographic practice?
This course introduces students to contemporary photography. This will include an investigation of digital and analogue technologies. The course will study the culture of photography and advanced camera techniques. This will include a review of photography that covers lenses, support equipment and the technical knowledge required to produce high quality images. Composition, design and image construction will form a part of this research practice. The student will, through skill building, exercises, critiques and independent research, produce a portfolio of work.
