The Studio Shifting Glances explores new perspectives of portraiture, fashion and commercial photography.

The way we create, perceive and consume photographs is evolving at increasing peace; photography has always been driven by technological innovation, which has democratised the access to image production and distribution. The digital development however has not killed the analogue medium, for example with increased accessibility to printing technologies it has prompted a revival of printed independent magazines.

Digital and analogue, printed and on screen, still or moving images: photography nowadays is a pervasive experience that takes multiple forms.

This studio will explore and experiment with a range of critically challenging photographic approaches to fashion, portrait and commercial photography, giving you an in-depth understanding of the ever-shifting aesthetics of contemporary imagery. It will analyse the role of the photographer in our image-driven culture and the importance of establishing a unique aesthetic identity, a ‘signature-style’ that will stand the test of time and of the technological shift. Students have worked toward developing personal projects as well as working collectively to develop the first issue of Eight Magazine, a printed fashion publication.
