Course Information & Syllabus
Course Information :
This course is for enthusiastic visual communicators who wish to specialise as stylists or photographers in the creation of promotional images for fashion and related style industries. Through the taught disciplines of styling and photography
students articulate a visual language informed by historical and contemporary practice. The course works to the standards of an industry whose aim is to capture the moment and seeks individuals responsive to this pace of change. The core studies, styling and photography, are linked together through a series of lectures, demonstrations and practical projects. Students gain experience of how to source clothing and accessories in the styling unit; they become familiar with location shooting and develop technical and creative skills using the college's studio and dark room facilities through the photography unit. Students develop research skills, analyze contemporary style and learn how to create, manipulate and rework imagery to communicate ideas.
Coursework & Assessment :
Assessment through the course takes the form of a series of staged specialist and integrated projects. Students, both
individually and as groups, will be expected to research, organise and cost a shoot or promotional activity, present
the final outcome and analyse its effectiveness. Students will learn through a series of lectures, demonstrations,
workshops, tutorials and through the practical experience of practicing their skills. Progress is monitored through
tutorials.
Careers :
Students leave the course with a portfolio of effectively targeted promotional images which showcase their skills
as a stylist or photographer. Students successfully completing the course can expect to commence work across a broad range of media, including fashion, style and music as freelance photographers or stylists.
