Overview

The core of Photography and Society is image-making, at the same time the programme will challenge you to foster encounters beyond photographic practice and utilize photography as a means to take part in global debate. We enable you to mediate the relationship between image and society. These transformational demands can only be met if photographers are educated in how photographs are created, presented, discussed, used, and documented. As a Photography & Society student you are educated to master the full distribution chain, seamlessly moving from concept to making work and its presentation in various, often novel, forms.

Career Prospects

As a Photography & Society graduate from Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, your strength lies in the capacity to understand complex social themes, helping to create a world shared by strangers regarding the general welfare. You can determine your own positioning, bring ownership, and find effective photographic forms and operate within complex settings. 

You may enter multiple fields, such as autonomous art practitioners, documentarians, visual researchers, curators, and activists, all creating work that is visually exciting and intellectually compelling, ready for work in any sector where photography and society intersect.
