Transcript of Fda Action Photography

The Foundation Degree in Action Photography is a vocationally oriented qualification run by Truro and Penwith College in partnership with the University of Plymouth. This Foundation Degree is designed to equip students with the specialist skills and knowledge increasingly required to pursue a photographic career.
The FdA photography courses at Truro College offer a modern purpose built studio, workrooms, photographic equipment and Apple Mac facilities. Students have direct contact with staff in all timetabled sessions, we offer highly dedicated lecturing teams ensuring all students have the full potential to develop all manner of photographic areas of expertise and thereby enabling students to pursue careers in a variety of specific and associated disciplines. A number of students also progress to Plymouth University and complete the one year top up BA Degree Course. Students are also able to apply through UCAS to any other top up degree of their choice.
This exhibition of work presents various images which were made in response to a project which asked students to consider one of the core themes of the ECEHH.

The European Centre for Environment and Human Health conducts research that examines the com-plex links between our natural surroundings and our health. The environment represents an invalu-able tool to help improve health and wellbeing, yet can also pose a number of threats to our health, is under increasing pressure as a resource for industry and can often be difficult to access. The com-plex interconnections between all of these factors are at the heart of the Centre’s research focus.
Based in Truro and part of the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry, the Centre conducts its stud-ies across a number of disciplines including Epidemiology, Microbiology, Ecotoxicology, Horizon Scan-ning and Health Economics. Amongst its on-going projects researchers are considering the ways that a changing climate will influence health, examining the health effects of increasing levels of man-made con-taminants and assessing how the coastal environment can be used to improve health and wellbeing.
The Centre is working closely with Cornish businesses to develop collaborative research and make its work relevant and beneficial to local enterprise. Ultimately it is aiming to produce world leading research that will contribute to the economy of Cornwall and impact policy at a national and international level.

These tanks were used recently to protect a ship’s hull. This means when the boat is launched the copper in the anti-fouling paint will dissolve and pollute the ocean.

Laurie Crayston
This is a set of images that show people taking part in various activities in the natural environment. All of the images are out of focus. This is to give the photograph a sense of freedom. By leaving out a lot of the detail the viewer is given the chance to add this themselves using their imagination, thus giving them a sense of freedom. This is to replicate the freedom that both the photographer and subject feel when immersed in the natural environment.
Upon completing the FdA Laurie intends to pursue acareer in Fine Art photography.
