What do you learn in
BAH Photography and Video
at LABA VALENCIA?

In the Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Photography, you will develop your creative talent both as a commercial and artistic photographer, as well as a cinematography professional, video creator and editor. Upon completing your degree, you will be fully prepared to work in one of today’s fastest-growing industries. You will gain solid knowledge of photography applied to reporting, advertising, entertainment (television, cinema, theatre, live events, etc.), as well as industrial photography, architecture, interiors, product, fashion and still life. At the same time, you will explore photography as an artistic language, developing personal projects that emphasise creativity, expression, and experimentation.

Alongside photography, cinematography plays a central role in the programme. You will engage with the aesthetic, technical, and narrative aspects of moving image, working across video art, video marketing, live events, video mapping, and audiovisual projects aimed at enhancing artistic and cultural heritage.

You will learn how to use professional cameras, camcorders, drones, and the latest software; how to set up professional lighting; how to capture high-quality images and video across different media; and how to produce live streaming events for YouTube and other online platforms.

Beyond technical mastery, you will be trained to conceive, develop, and lead creative projects and interdisciplinary teams. You will also acquire the knowledge to create and finance your own company and projects, establishing international networks that will strengthen your presence in both the artistic and professional worlds.

We offer you a degree that balances commercial and artistic practice, maximising your career opportunities. A key component of your degree will be the development of a personal e-portfolio and direct connections with professionals and companies in the sector. This online profile will showcase your skills and ensure greater visibility, opening doors to outstanding internships and employment opportunities.

Art is at the core of LABA, and we place special emphasis on the aesthetic and expressive dimensions of both photography and cinematography. Creative experimentation is encouraged throughout the degree — an essential approach not only for students but for the ongoing growth of any creative professional.
