Here's what University for the Creative Arts says about its Fashion Photography course.
Creating fashion images inspired by your personal experience and interests, but that also comment on the world around you, is what our BA (Hons) Fashion Photography degree course is about.
As well as giving you solid foundations in the principles of photography and fashion image making, our course, taught at UCA Epsom, champions individual voices. We will encourage you to approach briefs from a multidisciplinary perspective and make highly creative fashion images that reflect the demands of the industry and the voice of your generation.
Collaboration and boundary-pushing are not just encouraged, they are embedded in the ethos of the course. We will take you on a transformative journey that challenges you and encourages you to think critically, tapping into new media and emerging technologies to unlock and support your creative process. As you progress through your studies, you’ll be guided by a team of academics and technicians who are active fashion image-makers, and benefit from the expertise of key leading industry creatives.
