- Consider the importance of research in underpinning practical work.
- Locate and define a range of practices constituting a contemporary version of documentary photography.
Content Summary
This module introduces the student to the notion of the picture story in its entirety. They are now in a position to develop an extended photographic project which addresses their ideas and concerns.
However, this module is not just about making pictures. To be able to comment on any situation the student has to have knowledge, and that knowledge is gathered together through research which they will have to do on a very regular basis to be able to put together a portfolio of ideas that is visually engaging, easily accessible and authoritative.
