As a student you will develop technical and critical skills throughout the three years of the course, to become an accomplished, independent photographer and critically informed image-maker. Approaching photography with a spirit of enquiry and experimentation, while developing your technical and communication skills, will open up a range of creative and professional possibilities for you as a photographic practitioner. You will be encouraged to develop your own ideas in relation to your practice and in doing so will try out a range of photographic methods, working with people and places, in urban locations, natural environments and in the studio. We consider the photograph as document and object as well as in its virtual contexts, exploring self-expression and experimental processes. Any of these methods may inform your future as a creative photographer, and we will support you in exploring different ways of working and in finding a photographic language that works for you. Within the creative environment of our photographic centre at Plymouth College of Art you will learn from teaching staff who have a range of internationally recognised experience in art, documentary, curatorial and participatory-based forms of practice. As a teaching team, they will help you build your own distinctive and innovative creative practice.
