Digital Imaging:

Tasks are designed to develop skills in camera controls, the art of composition and the use of light. Post production editing software skills are taught to enhance and manipulate imagery and construct meaning, moving beyond traditional image making into more contemporary practice. Emphasis is placed on technical and conceptual accomplishment. Critical studies into other Photographers’ practice also accompanies this course. (Students can extend on this 1-unit course continuing into Year 12)

The Digital Imaging course is broken into 70% Making and 30% Critical and Historical There is no external HSC Exam This course cannot be counted towards the ATAR. Students are not to use practical works or parts of, created in Digital Photography in any other stage 6 course. NOTE: Stage 6 Photography is different to the Stage 5 Course

The study of Photography allows you to develop innovative thinking and reinterpret the world around you whilst developing your photographic eye. Photographic images are a powerful visual language and can change the way we view things.

Photography allows you to develop an acute sense of awareness of your environment. It also allows you to develop a personal style and sense of aesthetics. It is studied within the Visual Arts so students will be required to think and work creatively. Critical analysis of their own works as well as other photographer’s works, develops visual literacy. Students will have the opportunity of printing hard copies of their best imagery for exhibiting at the annual Trinity Art Exhibition
