In this studio, it is expected that you have a developed photographic practice, an awareness of how to place yourself within the multiple narratives of contemporary photography, and a skill set that enables you to solve complex visual problems to more critically engage with the theories and practice of photography.

This studio begins to consolidate your photographic practice and explore the diverse ways of working within a creative industry. The course considers audience and how photography is encountered within the community of practice globally. Skills in the presentation, distribution and consumption of photography are explored, along with ways in which to position your own work into this context.

Central to this studio is the formal critique of your work with your academic staff and peers. During the critique you will develop strategies to present and uphold your ideas and work to your peers, respond to supportive discussion, and evaluate your work through new insights.

Projects are realised in consultation with your academic advisor, with the intention of ensuring you are ready to complete your final folio of work.
