In LVI, students are taught the technical elements of the camera and studio as well as the tools for digital and physical editing. Mini projects create a structure for this learning whilst also giving some creative ownership to the students. Students also look at the masters of this subject to develop their understanding of the creative power of photography as well as hone visual analysis and discussion skills. Towards the end of the year, students begin their personal projects on a theme of their choice. With guidance from teachers, this project becomes Component 1 and is worth 60% of the final grade. In UVI, students continue to work on their personal projects and write an essay (1,000-3,000 words) to support their practical work. In UVI, there is scope for personal projects to include film and animation if a student wishes to pursue this direction. Component 2 is a project set by the exam board and is worth 40% of the final grade. Students work to develop a personal approach to a starting point, culminating in a 15-hour practical examination All girls will have the opportunity to participate in life model sessions, an outstanding opportunity for Photography students to record the human form using their new skills.
A GCSE Grade 6, or equivalent, in a creative subject is desirable. We are also keen to see girls’ interest in the subject, enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.
