Overview
*Note that 2MSS404 Photographing the City: London requires a GPA of 2.8 (not 3.0 as with all other Media, Arts and Design modules) and does not require a portfolio to be submitted.
The module is concerned with an investigation of the city as represented through historical and contemporary photography. Through a series of lectures and workshops, students gain a critical perspective on the city as a social, cultural, architectural and artistic phenomenon. Through image and text based research they focus on an aspect of the city to represent through their own photographic project.
Assessment: Pilot Project (30%) and Personal Project (70%)
