Overview

Master of Photography

The Master of Photography at RMIT University enables socially engaged photographers to lead developments in the technological, cultural, environmental and political role of photography today.

Utilising a dynamic studio-based learning and independent project environment, this degree encourages you to experiment and take creative risks before mastering your own process and craft.

You will develop skills and knowledge through a combination of practice-led research and professional development opportunities

You will establish and define your photography practice to be industry ready for presentation, publication or commercial markets. 

The capstone experience of this degree is a major photographic project that is publicly presented for critical review.

The Master of Photography is designed to challenge you to apply and analyse photographic theory, mediate the relationship between technology and image making, and foster new approaches to writing, practising, and exhibiting photography.

You will have access to a range of specialised photographic facilities, including shooting studios, professional capture equipment, post-production facilities, computer labs and fine art large-format printing technologies.

Learning in this course is a balance between studio-based activities and theoretical reflections on contemporary photographic art and culture. 

Lectures, seminars, presentations, and field trips to galleries and cultural resources will expand your understanding of photographic practice and complement studio-based learning.

Assessment includes photographic folios, reflective reports, curating and critiquing exhibitions, essay writing, documentation of processes, and the development of an Appropriate Durable Record.
