Students will learn how to technically use a DSLR camera, and apply relevant techniques to help communicate ideas. They will learn how to investigate the work of photographers and artists to help inform and develop their work. They will learn how photography can represent ideas, feelings, and meanings and utilise this within their own work. During the lessons students will explore a variety of technical photographic practices using the DSLR on outdoor locations, studio workshops, developing their images through Camera Raw and Photoshop workshops. Students will be required to document the journey of their photography project in an A4 sketchbook illustrating the development and exploration of their work. The sketchbook needs to present a range of techniques, approaches and methods working towards a final outcome.
If you have studied Photography or ART to GCSE it would be advantageous but not essential. The most important requirements are a keen interest in photography combined with enthusiasm and a willingness to work hard during the lessons and in your own time.
