MA Photography Arts The MA Photography Arts, led by artist and writer Lucy Soutter, offers a dynamic mix of practice and research to support students’ development as photographic artists. Each student develops two independent bodies of work to exhibition and publication standard. The course has a particularly strong reputation for developing research, with each student choosing three research modules that allow them to develop their conceptual skills and understanding of the field through written assignments that are tailored to their own interests. The MA culminates in a public degree show in Central London (presented jointly with the Documentary Photography and Photojournalism MA) and a public portfolio review event. The students are diverse in terms of nationality, race and age, and they produce work in a broad range of genres and modes. Some projects engage with elements of appropriation, performance, sculpture, installation or moving image. The students who work with documentary themes often explore the boundaries between fact and fiction, spontaneous and staged.
