Photography

“Our goal is to provide you with the

focused knowledge and understanding

of photography needed for the

fast changing photographic industry”

Nana Varveropoulou

Programme Leader HND Photography

Q. Can you tell us a bit about where your interest in photography comes from and your background?

A. I have been working as an editorial photographer and an artist for the past 10 years shooting for various UK and European publications and exhibiting nationally and internationally. After graduating from my MA from London College of Communication I established myself as an editorial photographer (fashion and more recently portraiture) while also working on a number of fine art projects. My most recent art project, No Man’s Land, is a collaborative project which is supported by the Arts Council England and soon to be released as a publication and presented in a solo exhibition in London, supported by a variety of partners.

Q. What makes the programme at LCCA distinctive?

A. The quality of the programme and the lecturers teaching it! The HND in Photography has been recently re-designed in order to address the changing needs of our students. Our vision for the course was to create a programme that engages our students conceptually, ensures their technical proficiency, connects them with industry and prepares them to launch themselves as photographers upon their graduation.

In addition to this we have a very exciting team of lecturers. Part of our vision is to also ensure that all of our lecturers are practising photographers who work in a variety of fields (editorial, advertising, fine art etc.) and who can enrich the student experience through their contact with industry.

Q. How does the programme engage with industry?

A. As previously mentioned, the connection with industry is at the heart of our programme. As well as ensuring that our lecturers are practising photographers who are currently exhibiting, getting published and winning awards, the structure of the programme is such that it encourages and supports the students to pursue their own interests within the photographic industry.

Q. What do you look for in applicants to a programme?

A. A love for photography and the arts, enthusiasm and ambition!

Q. How important are the links with industry?

A. Very important! The students will be encouraged and supported in pursuing industry contacts and work experience through a Self-Promotion and Employability module, which will run throughout the duration of the course.

Q. How is the programme taught?

A. The HND in Photography is a two year programme and it is delivered in six terms (three terms per year). The students will be working on a series of set projects every term and supported through a series of lectures, practical workshops, industry visits and project-production time.

The staff on the Creative Media Production programme are all practicing film makers and get the students to assist on jobs where appropriate, giving them direct first hand industry experience.

Q. How is the programme taught?

The first year of the programme introduces the students to the various technical aspects and roles involved in creative media production - camera, lighting and sound, editing, green screen, animation and documentary,as well as the context, research and production paperwork.

The second year enables the students to explore the different roles in film production in much greater depth, such as the role of director, producer, camera operator, editor or scriptwriter, for example. They are encouraged to focus on key areas in which they may specialise upon leaving the programme and entering the industry.

Q. How personalised is the programme?

A. The programme encourages the students to identify their strengths at an early stage and allows them to follow specific roles in production or research as much as possible, with a view to working in the industry in a given specialism, both during and after the programme.

Q. Do students need to have studied CMP before?

A. This is not a strict requirement, however we are looking for students who are actively engaged with the subject areas and may have relevant experience outside of education.

Programme Leader Q&A

“It goes without saying that the fashion

industries are extremely competitive and

graduates need to have a certain level

of resilience in order to succeed once they

leave the programme”

Claire Ritchie

Programme Leader

BA in Luxury Fashion Business and Marketing

Q. What is your background and interest in luxury fashion?

A. I trained originally as an applied fashion designer but then became more interested in the broader concepts around the marketing and promotion of fashion; elements such as fashion imaging, digital media, experiential marketing, consumer behaviour, globalisation and the development of luxury fashion and goods within emergent markets. Since 1995 I have worked in a number of industry roles including project management, PR and marketing of luxury products alongside the international development of my academic work and applied fashion research. My knowledge and experience span both the business and the creative sectors in a fully interdisciplinary way. So I am able to evaluate ideas from a conceptual and a commercial viewpoint.

Q. What makes the programme at LCCA distinctive?

A. The way that we have put together the programme reflects that interdisciplinary ethos completely, as this is also the nature of the workplace that we are preparing our students to enter. During the programme we will be exposing our students to as broad a range of concepts related to the world of fashion, luxury and business as we can. The tutors on the programme are all experienced industry practitioners and I think this adds a real authenticity to what we deliver. Our students become part of the broader culture of

design-based learning here at LCCA, but they are also equipped with the skills to make the most creative ideas into a viable business proposition for the future.

Q. How does the programme engage with industry?

A. Aside from our tutors being engaged in their own practice, we undertake trips to explore the world of luxury fashion business in the field, we have guest speakers from the luxury sector and other fashion organisations that come to speak to our students and we engage in exchange of ideas, research and contacts with our partner institution Mod’Art in Paris. In addition to this we also have a full schedule of creative events, guest speakers and exhibitions which happen in our gallery space at LCCA; these cover the wider scope of all of the creative subjects covered within the school.

Q. Do students need to have studied luxury fashion or marketing?

A. No, but I would expect applicants to have more than a pedestrian knowledge of those subjects. They should be able to hold a conversation about their favourite fashion designer, their favourite brands, fashion magazines, fashion blogs or stores and to be able to communicate why they like them. Fashion is a constantly changing, evolving entity, so the capacity to learn more never ends!

Programme Leader Q&A

“Elements of the course are taught

traditionally, but we expect students to be

working and developing themselves in

their own time too.”

Ana Ferreira

Senior Programme Leader Fashion Design and Styling

Q. How does the programme engage with industry?

A. This programme is fully vocational, and we expect students to conduct themselves as professionals as soon as they join the course.

Fashion design is constantly evolving, so it goes without saying that they should be fully engaged with the latest fashion news and trends. Students are also encouraged to get involved in work placements, build networks, and work on as many extra-curricular projects as they can.Their CVs need to show educational qualifications and work experience: without both parts of the equation, graduates will find it difficult to gain paid work. All of the lecturers are creative practitioners, so they are working on their own projects alongside their work at LCCA.

We also have a twice-yearly fashion exhibition, industry seminar series, and academic fashion publication ‘The Fashion Sessions’, which are all opportunities for students. In addition, we frequently host guest speakers to give talks to our students.

Q. How is the programme taught?

A. Elements of the course are taught traditionally, but we expect students to be working and developing themselves in their own time too. The programme is studio based, as we do lots of practical work, but we also have more formal lectures. Students may also be out in the field, working on projects with designers and brands.

Q. How personalised is the programme?

A. The course modules are extremely flexible. If students have an interest in a particular area, we can accommodate them.For example, if a student wanted to be a menswear stylist, they could shape their work for those modules to develop their skills and knowledge within that subject area

Q. Do students need to have studied Fashion Design and Styling before?

A. No, but we expect candidates to have a significant interest in fashion. They should be able to name their favourite designers and know about their work in more depth than average. Candidates must also have the energy, enthusiasm and determination required to succeed as a designer or stylist, because working in any area of fashion requires extreme self-motivation and dedication.

Programme Leader Q&A

“The programme is not about how good you

are at using technology: it is more focused

on problem-solving, generating creative

ideas and engaging in the design process..”

Jenny Spencer

Programme Leader

BA in Graphic Design and Visual Communication

Q. What makes the Graphic Design programme at LCCA distinctive?

A. The Ecole D’Art Maryse Eloy has been successfully training Graphic Designers for the last 30 years - and therefore, this vocationally orientated bachelor degree programme has a proven track record with regards to both academic and creative industry sectors.

Q. How does the programme engage with industry?

A. Graphic Design is a highly competitive and lucrative profession. This programme endeavours to train and prepare competent and skilled graduates who are familiar to the demands of the industry. LCCA is uniquely positioned in the commercial and creative ‘hub’ of London - and students will be inspired by specialists and practitioners, working at the ‘cutting-edge’ of the business.

Q. What do you look for in applicants to a programme?

A. The ability to draw and to visually communicate is of primary importance - but also to be open, curious and motivated enough to investigate and formulate fresh ideas - to be imaginative, inspired and inquisitive; solve problems, innovate and experiment - these are all necessary qualities of a successful graphic designer. A ‘creative mind’ and the ability to express your ideas and feelings; you may like collecting or organising things or have an eye for detail; as well as an avid interest in art, design, advertising, branding, product design, the built environment, textiles/fabrics, fashion,

style, colour, type/lettering, image-making...and of course story-telling - these are all things we look for in our applicants - as well of course, dedication and passion!

Q. How is the programme taught?

A. The programme centres on project-based learning through the delivery of set ‘briefs’ which require a methodological approach and creative response - this simulates contemporary commercial studio practice. This is supported by a solid underpinning of theoretical and contextual studies. The programme is delivered through a rich blend of content which develops practical ‘hands-on’ skills - particularly drawing and visualising.

The programme aims towards encouraging each learner to generate material which forms a highly distinctive and personalised body of work, specialising in one of three major areas: Packaging Design, Photography or Digital Design.

Q. Do students need to have studied Interactive Graphic Design before?

A. Not necessarily. However, it does help if potential learners have acquired a reasonably competent level of software skills, digital technology or basic media techniques, prior to engaging on the programme.
