Our graduate photographers continually surprise and inspire us with their creative practice across a wide range of genres and professional ambitions.
They engage critically and personally with the world around and within them, with imagination and vision. By developing new perspectives through their photography on cultural and social issues that are important to them, they comment and have their say.
This is what we do as a course. Develop photographers with voices.
An effective artist is someone who adds something new to the conversation on today’s debates and you will see that in these graduates from Photography at Cumbria.
This collective offer innovation and individuality through collaborative portraiture, documentary storytelling, environmental campaigning, political activism and personal perspectives on time and place. Their ideas do not conform they add newness and challenge.
The works made during their studies make meaningful contributions to a creative ecology and reflect superbly on the artists’ labour and exertions.
It is our pleasure to introduce and applaud this work and a privilege to have been able to support their growth.
