Creative Thinking - The Photographer Magazine
A few weeks ago I was approached by The Photographer Magazine to give some insight in to an article on photographic education.
I am please to see it has now been published with contributions from fellow educators, Professor Paul Wenham-Clarke (Course Leader, MA Commercial Photography, Arts University Bournemouth), Dr Mark Hall (Senior Lecturer, University of Derby) and Alan J Kent (Lecturer, Blackpool and Fylde College).
Reading through the article it is good to see the three contributors and I all have very similar viewpoints on photographic education including the approach and contemporary debates on employment. Many think a photographic education is not necessary and learning can be achieved solely online. I would disagree, the physical learning space allows peers and lecturers to fully discuss the diverse world of professional photography and encourage self-expression, develop a personal style and investigate what defines the differences between photographers. The first years are the most important in learning a foundation to the practice, however I will admit that once this foundation has been built the study of a Masters can be distance learning with support.
I am glad to see photographic education is in good hands.

It also helps people understand which information they are expected to provide and when it is needed. The College of Contract Management offers an online tender management course for learners interested in developing knowledge in this area. The course page gives more information…
I appreciate the creativity behind the Spiderman Varsity Red Jacket because it connects pop culture with classic apparel design. The varsity structure gives it a familiar feel, while the theme adds a memorable touch for fans.
I’ve been thinking about how different a construction career can look once you start taking responsibility for the wider project. A person might begin by focusing on a particular trade or site activity and later become interested in coordinating teams and planning the work around them. That change brings questions about communication, scheduling, supervision, resources, and keeping project information organized. For anyone looking into construction management training, these are some useful areas to consider when choosing what to study. The College of Contract Management offers an educational programme focused on construction site management. You can explore the College of Contract Management if you are curious about the course and what it covers. Enrolling could be a good option if you…

Many organisations rely on skilled professionals with recognised HR qualifications to support both employees and management teams. Human resource functions extend beyond recruitment and often include performance management, employee wellbeing, compliance, and professional development initiatives. Learning about these areas can provide a broader understanding of how organisations maintain productive and supportive workplaces. Structured education can also help learners develop practical skills relevant to everyday HR responsibilities. This knowledge remains applicable across a wide range of sectors.
