Thought I’d start off by introducing myself. I am a recent graduate from a BA in Photography, Video and Digital Imaging from the University of Sunderland.
The course was quite concept-driven, but there was sufficient teaching of technical knowledge as well. However, I think more could have been taught on professional practice (maybe this is dealt with in the MA course).
I, as well as other people from the course, have not developed our practice in an “art” way. Most people have either got a job unrelated to photography, or gone down the route of commercial photography. I am one of the former. I currently work in a community training centre in Bradford, where I work as media officer for the centre.
Ideally, this blog will help me develop my artistic practice, and through this, help me to develop opportunities as an artist.
