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.

Course overview

MA Fine Art: Photography supports and challenges you to develop your work through seminars, lectures and experimental workshops. There’ll be opportunities to exhibit and test new ways of working creatively with photography and its surrounding practices. The course encourages an open-minded and diverse practice with photography. At its centre is an active engagement in forms of climate, racial, social and economic justice.

What to expect:

Workshops: Ranging from (but not limited to) experimental darkroom practice, alternative processes, optics, camera construction, augmented reality (AR), extended reality (XR), artificial intelligence (AI), projection-mapping and 3D printing. View the Camberwell facilities.

A sense of community: The course is part of a comprehensive Camberwell fine art programme. This enables you to take part in cross-course studio-based workshops, group crits, tutorials, offsite trips and external projects with other students.

Collaboration: The course nurtures collaborations within the Camberwell fine art programme and provides access to a range of professional networks in the UK, Europe and further afield through a range of events, workshops, and visiting lecturers.

Showing your work: You’ll be able to show and discuss your work and research in exhibitions and other public facing events.

Industry experience and opportunities

The course will develop your skills in creative leadership, problem-solving, collaboration, resourcefulness and communication. You’ll also learn how to sustain open-ended lines of enquiry, an essential skill in any professional setting.

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to showcase your practice including organising and participating in public events and exhibitions. A programme of talks and workshops will help you identify which part of the art world you would like to contribute to after graduation.

You’ll work with internationally recognised tutors and guest lecturers to build a community and network of practice. The course works closely with:

The Global Photographies Network, an Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded partnership of universities and professional organisations.

The Kraszna-Krausz Foundation and its award for excellence in publishing.

Peckham 24 Photography, a leading local contemporary photography festival.
