If you are looking to begin an interpretative and/or discursive relationship with your photography, you will find this course an illuminating experience! By using mediums such as freeform drawing, paper sculpture, story-cubing and writing, it will give you valuable tools for photographic ideation. You can think of each project as a kind of photographic alchemy where we encourage experiment, failure, accident and play as valid contributors to important discoveries along the creative process.

Course programme

Topics covered

  • There will be lectures, guided gallery tour and a library visit followed by photographing projects ‘in the field’ of London.
  • You will investigate contemporary trends while focusing on your current and developing voice in photography.
  • Mixing theory with practice, we will explore how the snapshot has a substantial currency in photography, and how its aesthetic is approachable and allows for a democratic platform through which practitioners can ’access’ and communicate to their audience.
  • Images and projects will undergo a process of self and group analysis involving learning photo-editing skills, theme development and concept statement generation for stylistic and topic continuity.
  • All projects will be presented for an instructor-led class observation, evaluation and discussion.

Former students have reported how this course shifted the way they photograph and look at photography, how it boosted their creativity and gave them tools to feel more at ‘play’ and take risks in their practice.
Entry requirements: None, but please bring ten (10) unbound examples of past photographs in print form (mistakes encouraged) for discussion and critique during the first class.

Please note: This course is for students aged 18 and older
