University of Cumbria, BA (Hons) (Foundation), Photography
Students are given a strong grounding in the principles and practice of photography; they explore a variety of lens-based media through contemporary and traditional ways of working; the year is structured to give students the skills and confidence they need and to prepare them for year 1 on the undergraduate programme; the emphasis initially is on experimentation and exploration using a variety of techniques and processes; students work on assignments on location and in the studio; they are shown how to use a camera, how to be a creative image-maker, and how to print their images to a high standard; students’ work is supported by a hands-on technical module and skills workshops, introducing them to a variety of cameras, lighting and post-production methods; as a complement to practice, students study the history of photography, where it has come from, where it is now and where it is going; they are encouraged to articulate their ideas and develop a personal approach to their work.
