A highly specialised Masters degree course in Biological Photography and Imaging has had an exhibition to show the public for the very first time the work that is produced in this pioneering one-year photographic scientific based course.
As 10th year is in session the exhibition was held to celebrate the work that has been done by former students. These students have gone on to careers in wildlife photography, medical imaging, filmmaking, biological research and writing. It does showcase their skills in digital photography and imaging, image manipulation and specialist camera techniques.
The exhibition was held at the Lakeside Arts Centre within the University Park, Mrs Sandra Case opened it and the public was able to view the work from Wednesday November 17 until Monday November 29 2010.
The Wallner Gallery which is in the DH Lawrence Pavilion showed just some of the vast amount of images which former students have produced over the last decade. Many of the other images were included in a presentation, which included a slide show and clips of films made by the MSc students.
The School of Biology at The University of Nottingham, equips the students with a remarkable range of camera skills, video skills, design skills, web design and also provides them with skills in business management. The last part of the course is a summer project from which they produce a major piece of work — a documentary film, photographic project, coffee table book, research thesis or similar which brings together the planning, writing, production, image capture and editing skills learned during the course. These highly professional products are frequently the key to students gaining employment in a competitive global job market.
The exhibition was held in recognition of the late Brian Case who founded the Biological photography and Imaging undergraduate course some 19 years ago as a module for biology students. He went on to establish the MSc in Biological Photography and Imaging with David McMahon Imaging Course Convenor.
