Art and Design (Photography)

Course summary

At the Regis School we offer a digital and film photography course that allows students to develop a diverse and creative portfolio using both film and digital manipulation skills using up to date software such as Photoshop. You will have the opportunity to experiment with materials, refine processes and create dynamic and refined outcomes. This will enable you to continue to expand on prior learning, building upon your technical and practical knowledge of digital photography, and explore the potential of the medium by taking creative risks. The course starts with workshops in photography, exploring different techniques and processes as well as recapping basic photography knowledge and understanding. You will begin to develop your own photographic voice through projects that aim to enable you to find the areas of the medium which you have an interest in. You will also look at the changing styles and traditions in photography and develop critical skills and knowledge of other photographers and visual artists. Students will be expected to visit galleries and museums as part of their independent learning.
