Available to students with foundation capture skills. This subject introduces students to a range of skills and approaches to working with artificial lighting in the photographic studio. Workshops allow students to build up a skills base and a series of weekly lectures introduce contemporary and historical studio practice, including the practical application of theoretical concepts. Students are encouraged to experiment and innovate, in terms of content and form, while acquiring skills to prepare them for the professional working environment. Students learn lighting skills for commercial applications and explore advanced digital capture and workflow, including colour management and printing. Students are also encouraged to explore the work and ideas of key practitioners, which will be invaluable in the production of new ideas and work.
