MA Fine Art: Photography at Camberwell College of Arts investigates photography as a popular technology and as a material and technological apparatus. We understand photography not only as a record of the past, but as an exploratory and enquiring process that informs the future.

There’ll be opportunities to exhibit and test new ways of working creatively with photography and its surrounding practices.
