What the college says

Our aim in photography is to expose students to the creative possibilities of digital art using the medium of photography. This is available to all students at St Peter's who wish to study photography. Students are encouraged to immerse themselves in artist contextual research and to create personal responses based on what other image makers have done in the past. Students examine the work of art movements past and present. Once a student takes an interest in one of these areas they are free to create digital art in the style of these art movements. The facilities available to photography students include Apple Macs for editing images and mastering Photoshop as well as studio space. All student portfolios are created digitally using these facilities. Students' work is displayed in personal portfolios as well as various photography exhibitions that are put on at different times of the year. All students must have a DSLR and either relevant software at home or be committed to additional studio time, in addition to the field work required to complete the course.
