Subject: Photography, visual arts and Skillset
Dear Ms Caine,
As Chair of the Association for Photography in Higher Education (APHE) I
need to discuss the status of photography in Skillset. I have read the
Skills Strategy for the Photo Imaging Industry, discussed it with Pippa,
chaired a discussion about it at the annual subject association conference
and have important reservations about the recommendations for higher
education that I must communicate to the correct persons.
Most importantly, higher education for photography is much more than
training, so the strategy as written ignores its major function as an
education in the visual arts. Is it correct to only locate photography in
the SSC for the Audio Visual Industries? Should it not be also in the SSC
for Creative and Cultural Skills? The APHE is concerned not to have
photography boxed into a narrow training agenda.
Please can you help me make contact with the appropriate persons?
Yours sincerely,
Cary Welling
