Photography may be defined as the creative journey through the process of lens and light-based media. This could include work created using film, video, digital imaging or light-sensitive materials. With the developments of new affordable lens-based technologies, students should attempt to use the photographic mediums to explore and create a body of work, which develops and refines both the process and the concept. Students will also understand that Photography practitioners may work to client commissions within a commercial photography studio, or work as freelance photographers. They will need photo manipulation, graphic design skills, and good communication skills in order to liaise with clients and to promote themselves as photographers. All students must use drawing to support the development process of their work and will be expected to demonstrate the ability to record their ideas, observations, insights and judgments through written annotation, using suitable specialist vocabulary.
