What the college says

You will be well suited to this course if you are: -interested in looking at images and recording special or unusual things -keen to learn how to use a camera and how to take impressive photographs -interested in making statements using images -interested in looking at the work of other photographers. Photography links well with all subjects as it is about presentation of ideas and learning to look at images and learn from them. It complements Art, History and Film Studies particularly well.

What you need to get on
