You will be supported in developing an independent, creative photographic project. You may already be working on ideas that would benefit from being developed further, or you may want to begin from scratch. We'll look at the theory behind different photographic styles and approaches, and experiment with a range of planning, editing, printing and presentation methods. The emphasis will be on content, creative ideas, experimentation and achievement using appropriate formats of presentation.
