A-Level Photography will be exciting, creative, inspiring, demanding and fun! Creativity and the ability to take risks and use your imagination is the next big thing. Every business, no matter what type, realises that creativity and good design are vital for generating new business. Your creativity is not just a way to satisfy your artistic soul, it can open up the door to exciting career opportunities as well. You will experiment with and investigate a whole range of media, techniques and processes from compact film cameras to digital SLR cameras, from dark room work to Photoshop manipulation of images, to mixed media. The emphasis will be learning by doing and you will be expected to create imaginative, personal work. You will be given the opportunity to develop your own personal responses to ideas, objects, experiences, environments and cultures in practical, critical and contextual forms. You will gain experience of evaluating and responding to other photographers’ work whilst using your own creativity and independent thought to express yourself visually. You will be encouraged to take risks, experiment and reflect on your own work and processes.
Five or more 9-4 grades at GCSE including English and Maths. A grade 5 or higher in GCSE Art or Photography. You will also need a genuine interest and passion for the subject, and a willingness to commit significant independent time and effort in to producing your portfolio of work.
