Overview

Photojournalists have explored and recorded the human experience since the inception of the medium, recording significant moments in history, documenting unfolding news and creating enduring images that can change people’s understanding of the world.

The documentary approach is a slower, more reflective form of practice, which adds deep research to synthesise the complex global conditions you wish to address.

Whether you want to situate your work in news media, an art gallery, book or a public space, Photojournalism and Documentary Photography (Online) course from the University of the Arts London (UAL) offers you the opportunity to develop your existing skills and expand your creative practice.

With an emphasis on contemporary political and social issues, the course will engage you with the ethics of photographic practice as well as the aesthetics.
