This course is an introduction to the relevant critical frameworks within contemporary photography as reflected in the program’s five pathways: Contemporary Art, Creative Industry, Fashion Culture, Imaging Technology and Social Engagement. Structured to increase students’ knowledge and confidence in relating to contemporary concepts of photography, students are encouraged to develop their independent photographic practices through readings, presentations and visual and writing assignments. The central aim of this course is to develop students’ skills in presenting and writing about their own practices as part of a constantly evolving definition of photography.
