GCSE Photography

Students in GCSE Photography begin the course by completing a series of skills based projects which includes camera and Photoshop techniques. These projects, with a focus on the Formal Elements, serve to equip students with a basic toolbox of skills which they can use, develop and refine in subsequent projects. Within these projects, they learn how to explore and respond to the work of other photographers, take and edit photographs and learn how to annotate and present their work. The majority of projects are completed on Google Slides, in additional to physical image manipulation work.

They then choose a theme for their major personal project which takes them through into Y11, when they start their Externally Set Task(exam) in January of Y11.
