The Fashion Photography (including foundation year) BA (Hons) at London Metropolitan University is designed for aspiring creatives who are passionate about visual storytelling within the dynamic world of fashion. This programme offers a unique pathway for students seeking to build a strong portfolio and develop essential skills, whether they need to meet entry requirements or wish to refine their artistic practice before embarking on degree-level study. You will explore diverse creative practices and establish your unique creative direction, gaining a comprehensive understanding of fashion photography's historical, contemporary, and cultural contexts. This course is ideal for those ready to immerse themselves in the art and business of fashion imagery.
This full-time, on-campus degree is structured over four years, beginning with a foundation year (Year 0) that provides broad exposure to various art and design disciplines. You will engage in practical projects, developing skills in drawing, making, and curating, alongside critical and contextual studies. In Years 1-3, you will specialise in fashion photography, undertaking modules like 'Looking and Making', 'Professional Practice', and culminating in a 'Major Project' and dissertation. You will graduate with the same qualification as students on the standard three-year BA (Hons) and be prepared for a range of careers in fashion media, editorial, advertising, and beyond.
