1. About the College:
(50 words on why I have chosen this college)
Brighton University is situated in the heart of a very contemporary area. Lots of action is surrounded as well as many cultures and it is one of the places that let you create any work you would like without worrying about people’s reactions. A joyful environment including various exhibitions and gallery spaces to volunteer and help, as well as being part of the community after you have finished the degree. Only an hour away from London.
2. About the Course:
(150 words on the reason for choosing the course to include evidence of an awareness of the curriculum content, previous student work, staff profile, progression opportunities, state if you went to an Open Day)
This course would be brilliant for me because a huge number of students would mean that I would have the opportunity to mix with other people and their photographic styles. A well recognized university would mean that there would be higher visiting lectures to talk than perhaps some other universities around England. I like the fact that in the second year at Brighton you are encouraged to work outside of your preferred medium to a relationship such as moving image and sound. This would be a great experience to opening up my field as I have only touched on these parts before. Entry requirements are quite high compared to the rest of the universities I have approached with a foundation course desired as well as an A Level’s BBC. A degree at Brighton University enjoys a significant and international reputation. Career opportunities include freelance photographic practice as well as curating, publishing and exhibiting. In recent years graduates have won many prestigious awards, two Jerwood Photography Awards and a NESTA Innovation Award. The reputation is why I want to study here.
3. About Your Current Interests: what have you done recently/are you planning that show your ‘cultural awareness’ your ‘passion for your subject’ e.g. trips to galleries/museums, talks, concerts, workshops, books you have read, films. Be inventive and be bold but don’t blag.

My current interests at this previous time involve the use of long shutter speeds applied to simple compositions. Recently I have been playing around and experimenting, however I hope to take this further and explore in my first year of university level. I have been trying to achieve the fact that something appears missing to the viewer. For instance an episode of Eastenders would appear very unusual without the use of extras in the background. I have been to many exhibitions over the past few months to display the fact that I am passion for this subject. As well as looking at photography I have been looking outside my medium at art and the movement of brushstrokes by Lucian Freud and also seeing an exhibition in Brighton that involved the use of computer art. I attended a very interesting talk about Bardsey Island a few weeks back and it was all about a lonely island and the volunteers counted migrant birds. I loved the feel and pictures that showed desolation, similar to what I was trying to produce by using a long shutter speed. I find it interesting the fact that in A Level and the start of this year I was very drawn toward isolated trees. I now work in contrast to this and try to transform the sense of loneliness upon busy places. I did not realize of feel that this was meant to happen but I can relate them together as I have moved on.
