Photography

Do you love taking photos, telling stories through images, and capturing moments that last a lifetime? Studying Photography at Craven College gives you the chance to turn your passion into a career. Photography is more than just pictures, it’s about creativity, connection, and communication. Great images can inspire emotions, spark conversations, and bring people together.

A career in photography opens up endless opportunities. You could travel the world, working in exciting environments, cultures, and landscapes, or you might decide to set up your own photography business and enjoy the freedom of freelancing. Many of our students go on to successful careers in areas such as fashion photography, portraiture, commercial photography, photojournalism, and fine art.

As a full-time student on our UAL Photography course, you’ll learn from expert tutors and guest speakers, take part in workshops, and gain valuable insight from professional artists and practitioners. You’ll also work closely with galleries, universities, and local businesses, giving you the chance to showcase your talent to a wider audience. Plus, you’ll exhibit your work at our annual End of Year Show.

Whether you choose a full-time UAL course or a part-time photography course, you’ll develop the technical skills, creative confidence, and professional portfolio you need to launch a career in this exciting and ever-changing industry.
