Overview

The Photography and Design program at ELISAVA Barcelona School of Design and Engineering approaches photography as an open discipline to create complex photographic projects, and explores its most contemporary approaches. The master’s degree emphasizes innovation, experimentation and research on photographic practice.

Key Features

This is important in the digital society where we live, where images have taken over from words as an element of communication. Nowadays, we communicate at all levels with images, and in an accelerated society, photography transmits messages, emotions, opinions, etc. fast and deeply. The photographer is no longer the person who takes photographs but the one able to communicate through them.

From theoretical and practical classes with professional photographers and international guest teachers, in our MA in Photography and Design you will improve your knowledge and skills in this field. During the course you will carry out real photographic projects that can be seen in exhibitions in publications, museums and galleries, such as the Fundació Vila Casas or the KBr Center – Fundación MAPFRE.

At the end of the MA in Photography and Design you will be able to carry out photographic works using this discipline to effectively express and communicate complex ideas, exploring beyond the specific limits of photography itself. You will create innovative solutions for new scenarios and methods of visualization and contextualization of images.
