the innovative expression of ideas and techniques which use the formal and
conceptual qualities of the photographic medium. Students first present a short
proposal for their projects, then later in the year, make a more formal
presentation of their work, placing it in the context of historical and
contemporary practice. Additional studio theory seminars are presented by
lecturers on topics including contemporary international photography, critical
writing on photography and professional practice. The development and
presentation of a group exhibition or publication forms part of the program.
