Course Summary
The Higher National Diploma in Art & Design at David Game College is a fast track pathway to a successful career in the creative industries.
The Photography specialist pathway provides an introduction into a wide range of photography disciplines, allowing you to specialise in whichever aspect of the photography industry you wish to pursue. The broad variety of modules will help you with refining your research skills, analytical thinking and conceptual development, whilst exploring contemporary photographic practices.
You will be working with digital SLR cameras using advanced lighting techniques in our studios to develop your ideas and photographic style. You will have the opportunity to explore analogue photography and darkroom printing, as we believe that they form the foundation for understanding photographic principles. As digital post-production is an essential skill for any practicing photographer, you will be entirely supported and greatly encouraged to enhance your pre-existing software skills.
