You will develop your own ideas through the skill of photography and post production using image editing software. You will be encouraged to take inspiration from a wide range of sources to develop and create work that is both technically proficient and individual. YEAR 12 FOUNDATION STUDIES After being fully taught how to use the manual settings of a DSLR camera, students follow a taught course where they explore viewpoints and composition whilst developing deeper understanding of technical elements such as lighting, aperture, shutter speed and editing skills. Students will also explore specific themes: Light Investigation Art Historical Project Still Life Photography Abstraction Modernism Portraiture The use of a digital portfolio will record student’s influences and progression throughout this stage, while hand editing and more experimental practices will also be explored.
