Photography Team

The Photography Department provides students with an exciting breadth of opportunities to develop their practice, within a critical context, at different levels. As a student you have easy access to a range of high-quality equipment in both digital and chemical photography. Extensive darkrooms, photographic studios, and computer suites provide you with opportunities to develop and challenge your skills and knowledge. The staff team consists of a range of practitioners and theorists, working at the highest level. This means that you directly benefit from their experience and knowledge and have the opportunity to get involved in live projects, which bring nationally and internationally renowned practitioners to Sunderland.
