This highly-focused course presents an opportunity to develop a specific practical documentary or photojournalism project. It is ideal for students who have completed the 'Documentary and photojournalism' course (code VY600), or for anyone who would like to research and develop a photography project in some depth. You will receive practical and professional expert guidance from a working photographer on the various stages of your work in order to improve your photographic technique, presentation skills and artistic confidence. There will be weekly critiques and feedback sessions, and we'll also cover aspects such as marketing, and any ethical dimensions to your work.
