***Ffotogallery are also pleased to announce that from the 7th of February we will be running a Diploma of Higher Education Course. The course offers students who have completed their Certificate of Higher Education in Photography the opportunity to continue their studies at Diploma of Higher Education level.
The first module entitled 'Photography and Environment' explores critical issues and practices concerning representation of the environment, and broadly examines themes of place, location and identity. Practical exercises in photographing urban, natural, social and political environments are undertaken alongside a historical and contextual understanding of the different forms of photography such as portraiture, documentary, landscape and fine art practice. You will gain experience in a broad range of approaches and produce a stunning portfolio of images.

If you have any questions about the courses contact Anne Siegel on (029) 2066 8695 or at education@ffotogallery.org.
