Being part of the course at Kingston University offered me a completely new view of what photography can do. I learnt just how versatile the medium is and how it can raise issues and awareness and express particular outlooks. Being a student at Kingston was – to me – not just a great introduction into the art industries, but also a huge asset for my own professional practice. Doris Himmelbauer
