A-level Photography will allow you to develop your skills in picture-taking and provide you with advanced Photoshop skills. Alongside the development of these technical skills you will study essential elements such as lighting, studio techniques and composition, underpinned by critical and contextual studies. The course will also give you the opportunity to develop your own identity as a photographer, through the close study of other photographers and their influence in your work.
To embark on A-level Photography, a GCSE in Art & Design is recommended, but not essential. The most important requirements are that you have a real interest in the subject and will apply yourself with enthusiasm, effort and commitment. All candidates will be required to submit a small portfolio of work to assess their suitability for the subject.
The A-level specification is comprised of some initial experiments, one component of practical coursework (personal investigation) supported by a written element of no less than 1000 and no more than 3000 words, and an externally set assignment, which concludes with a 15 hour examination. The personal investigation unit counts for 60% and the externally set task unit makes up the remaining 40% of the final grade.
