Overview

This qualification is designed to allow the exploration of either or both of the two major forms of photography; traditional silver-based or digital technologies.

Whilst digital image making and manipulation has become the preferred form for much image making activity, traditional silver-based technologies continue to provide opportunities for image makers to sustain their creativity and to build on a long and rich tradition.

Whichever form of photography is explored through this course, the student is inspired and empowered to creatively define and describe their ideas.

Applicants must have:

Sound knowledge of photography and photographic practices
Minimum of at least a Level 2 Award in Photography
