From the act of taking the photo to the finished image

The two-year Photography/Digital Imagery Programme helps you develop the way you create images in terms of both techniques and personal expression. During the programme you work with digital photographic techniques in which you learn to handle the image from taking the photograph to the end result in everything from minicam to large format.

We teach in modern well adapted premises with the very latest technology and equipment.

Great emphasis is put on the student’s personal involvement in the visual creative process, and instruction is largely given in project form. Lectures alternate with practical assignments, and students work as closely to real life conditions as possible, either individually or in groups.

Discussions, projects and lectures

Understanding the underlying criteria of a good image is of vital importance, which is why our lectures emphasise discussions about photography, the expression of the images, history and the technical requirements set on an image for different types of publication. We also have several major projects that are run during the programme and involve external photographers, designers and publicists. Through that process you become well prepared for real working life.

Photography in a larger context

You will work in a fully equipped digital photography lab and have the opportunity to use the available printing equipment available and cooperate with students on the printing programmes. We have a modern and spacious photographic studio, in which the work flow in photography and image processing is completely integrated. In our digital lab we use several sizes of printers with various RIP solutions for printing FinePrint/exhibition prints.

Photography in a printing context

Broby Grafiska’s photography programme brings you one step towards closer to valuable cooperation with the printing industry. Here you learn about every step on the way, from taking the photograph to image editing and printing, as well as the advanced requirements that an image must meet to be optimally reproduced
in print. Towards the end of the programme you will work on the publication of a photo book.

Goals

Our aim is to give you as a student

  • the opportunity to practise your ability to think creatively and express yourself with the aid of the image as a messenger.
  • insight into yourself and your creation of images in relation to the past and the present.
  • knowledge of the equipment and skills a photographer needs for the future labour market.
  • sound knowledge of digital photo and image processing.
  • knowledge of how to meet the photographic industry’s needs in fields like digital photography, image processing/adaptation of images to various media, and knowledge of the significance of the image and its impact in today’s society.

Graduation from the programme

After completing your studies with at least a Pass in all courses, you will receive your final grades and a diploma. If you lack the required number of credits for a full qualification you will receive a course certificate instead.

Advanced Vocational Education and Training (AVET) will become Yrkeshögskola

AVET comprises study programmes that are tailored to the requirements of working life and the needs of the industry. The AVET form of study will change in 2009 when all post-upper secondary vocational training outside universities and higher education institutions will be grouped in a vocational higher education framework called Yrkeshögskola.
