The College has access to a range of facilities, including B/W and colour processing darkrooms, flash and continual lighting studios, and digital scanning and inkjet printing, including a Chromira light jet printing service for students.

 

You will lead, deliver and supervise learning activities, providing expert guidance and technical advice in photography image capture, helping students to identify and supply appropriate techniques, processes, materials, resources, and equipment to meet learning outcomes.

 

In addition to this, you will assist in the day-to-day running of the photography studios and darkrooms, including the use and booking of specialist facilities. This role involves evening cover for the technical facilities, including two late night openings.
