Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Photography (W640)

Photography is pivotal to fine art, fashion, advertising and editorial photography, as well as digital applications. This course is centred on the making and understanding of photographic production and critical thinking, applied to any subject area.

Students will study both analogue and digital photography; the key focus of the course is for students to develop their creative ideas alongside their professional skills, within a multi-genre approach to the medium. The course takes maximum advantage of Kingston's proximity to the vibrant art, photography and cultural life of London – one of the major photographic art and commercial centres of the world.

There will be opportunities to work with historic manual processes such as cyanotypes and salt prints as well as other 'craft' processes including creating unique one-off photobooks.

Students will be taught by staff who publish and present their work nationally and internationally. Kingston's technical staff are practising artists and will support them in the bespoke photography workshop. The graduates work in a range of roles within photography and related industries. Many graduates also progress to study a range of related disciplines at postgraduate level. These include photography, curating, book arts, conservation and advertising.
