Art and Design (Photography)

Course summary

A-level Photography embraces the current and emerging technologies, including animation and games design, moving image and 3D digital design, as well as the traditional routes of photography, such as working in the darkroom, studio lighting, location photography, and digital imaging using Photoshop. It provides exciting opportunities for students to take a personal interest in why photography matters and to gain experience of the working practices of individuals, organisations and the creative and cultural industries. By being given the freedom to experiment and take risks, students are encouraged to develop their own style. The course also provides insight into the world of fashion photography and photojournalism.
