Photography is about looking, exploring, selecting, learning, thinking and communicating ideas. It is one of the most ubiquitous art forms in the world today and everyone who has a mobile phone has greater access to photography than ever before. There are many genres of photography and as consumers we experience photographic images in many contexts. An understanding of these genres and contexts and the critical use of the visual language informs the picture- making process.
Students should have their own digital SLR camera by which their commitment to the subject is demonstrated and they are able to take full advantage of photo opportunities away from school. GCSE Photography or Art are of great benefit to successful study as are well-developed visual literacy skills and a genuine interest in the subject.
