The Course
Engage with diverse and innovative approaches to fashion image-making through this course. You will develop your knowledge and understanding of the lens-based fashion industry and cultivate an experimental approach to produce striking photography and films.
Our vibrant and inclusive learning environment promotes the exchange of ideas and freedom of expression through photography. We offer hands-on experience in the form of live briefs, publishing, and exhibition opportunities, educational trips, and commissions. Collaborating with students across the University and with global creative communities is greatly encouraged.
Your programme of study and group tutorials are informed by current and emerging industry developments. You will work with highly skilled practitioners and specialist tutors who are also experienced photographers. Responding to exciting project briefs generated by commercial brands, designers, or publications, you will push your creativity, professionalism, and benefit from real-life learning opportunities.
The course integrates creative, practical projects with analysis of historical, cultural, and social frameworks within fashion image-making. We want our students to embrace an experimental approach and question approaches to practice. You may work in the studios with high-tech cameras and lighting or loan kit for exciting location work.
We invite internationally renowned speakers to give industry insight and offer opportunities to engage with external practitioners. In the past, students have visited Paris, Milan and New York, plus day trips within the UK. Educational trips and experiences can take a variety of formats, including physical and virtual activities.
The Structure
Develop your creative potential through a range of briefs and tasks that integrate technical skills with abstract ideas. You will be introduced to fashion image-making methods and gain an understanding of the roles of extended creative teams. Learn about lighting techniques and work in a range of locations. An introduction to both the ‘still’ and ‘moving’ image as used across various platforms will be explored to raise awareness of the importance of context for image production.
Course Facilities
BA (Hons) Fashion Photography students will use dedicated lighting studios and have access to a wide range of professional camera and lighting equipment for studio and location work.
