This area celebrates three centuries of photography. Students can engage in a broad
range of photographic and digital imaging training and theoretical research.
Extensive hi-end digital production facilities coexist with established analogue
equipment. Electronic, silver, and non-silver processes supported by advanced colour
management practices encourage the development of sophisticated production skills
and artistic strategies. New imaging technology is critically engaged and evaluated in
the investigation of the conceptual, technical and ideological foundations of the
analogue and electronic photographic arts.

Students, staff and graduates continue to make significant contributions to
contemporary art and culture. Students have won or been finalists in the Australian
Centre of Photography Student of the Year, the Centre for Contemporary Photography
Summer Salon, and the McGregor Prize for Photography. Graduates also hold senior
national and international university teaching and research positions. Staff have
exhibited and undertaken residencies nationally and internationally and are
represented in many public collections including the National Gallery of Australia,
the National Gallery of Victoria, at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, and
The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Centre of Creative Photography, USA.
They also helped establish the Centre for Contemporary Photography and First Floor
Artists and Writers. In the last three years two students have been finalists at the
Australian Centre for Photography’s annual Phototechnica award.
