Course summary

On MA Photography, you’ll engage with the ways in which photographic images are created, disseminated, received, studied, and understood by following 1 of 3 pathways:Expanded Practice: Develop a contemporary photographic art practice through projects underpinned by research, visual experimentation, and critical reflection in expansive areas such as still and moving image, CGI, 3D scanning and modelling, automated and algorithmic images. With opportunities to create work made for a range of contexts such as galleries, public spaces, books, augmented reality, virtual reality and the web, you’ll engage with the impact that the vast global increase of images has on the ways in which photography is disseminated, used and understood - exploring how this creates new theoretical frameworks for understanding the photographic. You’ll explore how photographic practices intersect and impact on social, racial and climate issues, and develop ethical approaches with the potential to make positive impact in these areas. You’ll also have opportunities to collaborate on exhibition and publishing projects with students on the collaboration and publishing pathways.Curation: Develop a contemporary curatorial practice through projects underpinned by research, experimentation, and critical reflection. You’ll learn about curation within the institutional context of museums and galleries, and as a freelance practice, and will consider the curation of physical objects and digital artifacts in both the ‘real world’ and online. Throughout the course, you’ll explore how curatorial practices intersect and impact on social, racial and climate issues, and develop ethical approaches with the potential to make positive impact in these areas. You’ll also have opportunities to develop curatorial projects, with options to use your own work, work from students on the Expanded Photographic Practice pathway, UAL collections or external collections. You’ll identify and research audiences, developing strategies for communication and engagement gain the visualisation skills to create a virtual exhibition and learn how to write professional curatorial proposals that include budgets and identify potential funding streams.
