Are you an experienced photographic practitioner with expertise in artists’ moving image, who would like to share your insights on practice, and pathways to success, with the next generation of creatives?

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Photography Programme at London College of Communication. Teaching on BA (Hons) Photography you will help to develop and deliver a course with a focus on research informed, experimental approaches to contemporary photographic practices.
