Support the ability to develop imaginative and skilful approaches to media, methods and processes employed in the creation of a resolved body of work.

Produce a refined and resolved body of work which communicates an idea and concept that links to specific concerns and/or relates to developing career plans.

Develop an understanding between personal practice within the wider context of professional contemporary photographic practice.

Demonstrate awareness of an audience or client in relation to the work produced and how communicates concerns in an appropriate context.
