Handbook

This course builds your skills and knowledge in contemporary photographic practice by introducing you to the principles and techniques of studio lighting for still photography. Throughout the course, you will analyse the relationship between photography and light and learn how to manipulate and modify light in order to create forms, communicate information, and convey meaning in your photographs. In addition to building on your practical and technical skill set, demonstrations and projects will help you to develop an awareness and understanding of the critical frameworks for directorial and constructed photography in contemporary art contexts. You will continue to learn to identify the connections between artists’ ideas, technical skills, and critical debates, allowing you to explore your own ideas as you develop an independent studio-based artistic practice.
