Why choose this program?  Storytelling is one of the oldest and most respected of human endeavours. What we know of ourselves and others comes through the stories we tell. Visual storytelling allows us to understand aspects of ourselves that cannot be conveyed through other media (e.g. love, hate, anger, desire etc). In this degree you will be introduced to the craft, politics and philosophy of such storytelling. Whether you seek to be a journalist, work in creative advertising or practice as a fine artist, a command of storytelling is fundamental to success in these areas. You will also explore the inter-relationship of photography and other forms of visual communication and develop the ability to recognise and produce meaningful visual statements. Comprising closely related practical studio areas supported by appropriate visual arts theory, communication or business studies, this program provides specialised studies in the practices, politics, philosophies and ethics in a choice of three majors. Majors include: - Creative Advertising Photography
- Photographic Art Practice
- Photojournalism
In Year 1, your studies combine photographic courses, studio practice and art theory. Along with developing an understanding of the politics and philosophies that underpin photography, you will receive a thorough grounding in the practice of photography and in developing your conceptual and craft skills. In Years 2 and 3, you will concentrate on your chosen major and also have the option to undertake an elective major or specialisation. Photojournalism students can undertake the Print Journalism elective major at the Nathan campus. Career opportunities With a keen appreciation of the politics and philosophies underpinning the practice of photography and the motivation to work innovatively, you will be capable of working at a professional level in the creative and rewarding spheres of advertising and design, fine art and public art or news, photojournalism and documentary photography which give you the opportunity to work anywhere in the world.
