Art and Design (Photography)

Course summary

Pupils who opt to take photography develop a means of personal enquiry and expression involving the selection and manipulation of images including digital imagery. Pupils employ creative approaches in their work, which go beyond mere observation and recording and are encouraged to work with both the still and the moving image. Pupils develop skills in all aspects of photographic practice including technical, theoretical and application of elements within creative photography. It is essential that all pupils have a camera from the beginning of the course. Pupils are expected to own, and work on, their own laptops in conjunction with the iMacs in the photography room. The photography teacher can advise on make and model. There is no additional materials charge for this course.
