A Level Photography

What the college says
Photography changes the way we see things. This is an art-based course that will teach you how to look. We would normally expect students to have completed a GCSE qualification in a creative subject (Art or Technology) to start the course; however, this is not always essential if you can prove your ability, commitment and motivation to be successful. Please direct any questions you have to a member of the Art and Design department who will be more than willing to help. You will be expected to demonstrate skills in exploring visual language; the ability to respond to an issue or theme; appreciation of viewpoint; the appropriate use of camera and understanding techniques relating to printing images.
