Photography (Design)

At KABK, we see photography as a wide practice with infinite possibilities for image-making and meaning-making. For us, photography is a way to tell the important stories of our world. Over the 4-years of your studies, you develop your position within this wide practice, defining your specific interests and personal voice.

Starting from a variety of short-term assignments, and working towards longer-term, self-directed projects, you discover and unravel your true interests and best ways to tell the stories that emerge on this journey.

Later in the programme you have more independence and responsibility to choose the path your education takes and are expected to navigate it with openness to experimentation, advancing in the use of appropriate techniques, methodologies, and theoretical understanding of corresponding discourses. You are expected to formulate the relevance of the work not only in relation to society, but also to contemporary visual culture, and working in the field towards a professional practice. By the time of graduation, you will direct your work and will recognise your specific audience.
