Photography plays a vital role in celebrity. Celebrity is often at the centre of photographic culture. This course looks at the connections between photography and celebrity, from a 19th-century desire to look at increasingly detailed images of celebrities, via the golden age of mass-reproduced photographs of stars in the 20th century, to the present day where social media influencers use photography to create a 21st century form of celebrity.
