Aspiring photographers can take the BA (Hons) Photography at the University of Chester to learn to tell stories visually in portraiture, documentary, fine art and commercial fields. Through technical lessons, students gain familiarity with both digital and analogue methods such as camera work, using lighting in studios, editing and printing. In project work, critical thinking, analyzing and studying different contexts help students expand their creativity. Because of the equipment and studios, students can use the course to produce professional photo prints. In working on live briefs, exhibitions and team projects, learners discover their unique and distinctive voice. Learning in these modules supports students who want to freelance or be employed in creative roles. Graduates are well-prepared for positions in photography, media, publishing, marketing and visual arts and they have the option to move on to postgraduate study in visual communication.
