What the college says

A-Level Art - Photography course starts with the ability to see and capture the world around us, to select and compose, to manipulate light and capture those decisive moments. Digital Photography involves the use of technology through digital SLR cameras, software such as Adobe Photoshop and the embracing of an app driven world; the use of motion and multisensory imagery becoming ever more important. The more traditional analogue and chemical based processes are embraced creatively, practiced and appreciated fully. The opportunity to attend workshops with professional photographers, visits to galleries and links to creative industries are an integral part of the Photography course.
