“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” Elliott Erwitt

Intro to photography & history

Photography is an integrated course.

This means in term 1 you will learn photographic skills and then progress from this to creating your own work using a theme of your choice for the year.

There are 3 A.S assessments that link together to form the final external folio.

Photography is the process of recording visual images by capturing light rays on a light-sensitive recording medium (e.g. film or digital CCD). It can be thought of as two pursuits:

Technical: The science of setting up the camera and the recording medium to take images in a controlled way.
Creative: The art of composing good images to capture.
