What the college says

Photography is a lens and light-based media that includes works in film, video, digital imaging and light-sensitive materials. Sometimes, techniques and processes are used to convey messages and create works related to other disciplines, such as web-based animations, photographic images in printed journals, light projections within theatrical or architectural spaces. Work in photography should form a means of personal enquiry and expression involving the selection and manipulation of images. Students must employ creative approaches which go beyond mere observation and recording. In the context of this specification, disciplines will include film-based photography, digital photography and film and video. Students will be required to work in one or more of these disciplines.
