David Bryson BSc(Anatomy) CertEd MIMI RMIP FHEA

I have a wide range of academic and research interests developed from a probably unorthodox background. I went to Aberdeen University where I gained a degree in Anatomy followed by teacher training at Aberystwyth University. Following that I combined my interest in things medical with a burgeoning interest in photography to become a Medical Photographer training at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff and then working at the Ninewells Hospital and Medical School in Dundee before working freelance in Worcestershire, my home county, for 10 years.

I specialized in medicolegal and orthopaedic photography as well as other aspects of medical photography. Later I also worked as a part-time lecturer in Medical and Technical Photography at the Berkshire College of Art and Design. In 1995 I took over programme leadership of the BSc (Hons) Degree in Biological Imaging at the University of Derby.

I have taught a wide range of subjects at the University from a multidisciplinary perspective at Undergraduate and Masters levels, including human aspects of sportswear design, scientific, medical and forensic photography, photography, visual perception, web design, interactive design, research skills to name but a few.

I am currently the Faculties Teaching Fellow responsible for supporting Continuing Professional Development, I taught on the University's Postgraduate Programme for Learning and Teaching from in 2006 and 2007. I currently teach a range of modules including Professional Practice, Personal Planning Reflection and Development, Photographic Theory, Digital Imagemaking, Forensic Imaging and Techniques in Human Identification.
