Course description BA Fashion Photography

Programme

We aim to provide a unique context in which you’ll be able to find your own style and graduate with an authentic and original take on fashion photography. We are developing a new and critical visual language, which examines the ideology, politics and context of fashion - providing a solid basis for using the power of narrative and storytelling through photographic images.

You’ll be taught the technical skills of photography, whilst exploring images that range from haute couture to street style, from advertising campaigns to designer look-books, from art gallery to shop window and from fanzine to the glossy magazine - developing a critical and analytical view of global style and the cultural landscape of the fashion industry.

You will become familiar with location and studio shooting, use the College’s photography studio facilities and state of the art darkrooms, and explore digital image production and manipulation. You will experience working in teams and building relationships with stylists, make-up artists, model agencies, and art directors. These will provide a solid foundation for running your own business, working in the fashion industry or pursuing studies at postgraduate level.
