Photography

Photographs are visible everywhere because we love the photographic representation of ourselves and our world and therefore there is a huge market for photographic work. Photography jobs are as vast as the medium is visible in the world. This course will make you a great creative thinker and you will be able to construct your photographic images so that they contain high visual appeal.

Students will develop critical analyses of artists’ work helping to develop their own ideas through reaction, practical application and written reflections.

Students will learn about a variety of photographic media, techniques and processes and use computers for photo editing and manipulation of digital media. Students will use journals to present their drawings, storyboards, contact sheets and written annotations about their ideas and the visual recording process.

Students will produce two units of coursework. The first one will be entitled 'From the Street' and the second one will be entitled 'Concealment'.

To finish the course students will produce a final project chosen from a range of topics set by the exam board.

The photographs below have been produced by previous Year 11 students. The first two are concealment and the last one is from the street.
