On MA Photography, you’ll be supported to engage with the ways in which photographic images are created, disseminated, received, studied and understood by following 1 of 3 pathways: Expanded Practice, Curation or Publishing. On MA Photography, you’ll engage with the ways in which photographic images are created, disseminated, received, studied, and understood by following 1 of 3 pathways:Expanded Practice: Develop a contemporary photographic art practice through projects underpinned by research, visual experimentation, and critical reflection in expansive areas such as still and moving image, CGI, 3D scanning and modelling, automated and algorithmic images. With opportunities to create work made for a range of contexts such as galleries, public spaces, books, augmented reality, virtual reality and the web, you’ll engage with the impact that the vast global increase of images has on the ways in which photography is disseminated, used and understood - exploring how this creates new theoretical frameworks for understanding the photographic. You’ll explore how photographic practices intersect and impact on social, racial and climate issues, and develop ethical approaches with the potential to make positive impact in these areas. You’ll also have opportunities to collaborate on exhibition and publishing projects with students on the collaboration and publishing pathways.1 year 3 months full-time (45 weeks across a four-term model)
