Photography

This major will equip you with the technical, conceptual and theoretical skills to embark on a career as a practising visual artist or in other related fields such as commercial, documentary or multi-media photography and design. The course will cultivate informed practitioners through visual experiences and critical thinking. You will undertake a range of studies utilising analogue and digital technologies in diverse studio subjects including digital photography and Photoshop, darkroom processes and printing, studio lighting (portraiture and still life), fieldwork site and context, photo- assemblage and series and photography in the expanded field of new technologies (including audio and the moving image). You will develop practical studio skills alongside an understanding of traditions and concepts relevant to photography in historical, theoretical and contemporary visual art contexts. You will study under the guidance of some of Australia’s leading contemporary photographic practitioners and scholars. This major can accompany another major within the Bachelor of Arts to add a creative aspect to your degree.
