Foundation Diploma in Art and DesignUCA - University of Creative Arts
- United Kingdom
I specialised in Fine Art where I undertook a series of projects. My final major project explored the relationship of manual and digital manipulation within photography. I experimented with a range of raw materials on digital images. The project taught me the historical element of manipulation within analog photography and the art of creating a photograph using particular foundations.
