Introduction
BA (Hons) Commercial Photography
Designed for students who are interested in developing professional photographic skills for the creative industries, BA (Hons) Commercial Photography explores contemporary approaches to photography, with a particular focus on the applications of digital technology.
The emergence of increasingly complex combinations of lens-based technologies has created a need for multidisciplinary practitioners who are comfortable with collaborative working. This course will support you to become a technically adaptive and refined image-maker who is conscious of design considerations and the professional challenges of commissioned work, with opportunities to explore areas including ethics, representation, collaboration and sustainability.
You’ll develop a distinct voice in creative direction and one that can bring a bold, new attitude towards both digital and analogue creation, and graduate with a fearless ability to navigate new market realities.
