What the college says

Our courses enable pupils to explore a range of different media, processes and techniques ensuring that there is something suitable for all interests. Photography gives pupils the opportunity to produce a portfolio of work that they can show to prospective employers or use to help secure a place in Higher Education. The course provide pupils with a wide range of creative, exciting and stimulating opportunities to explore their interests in ways that are both personally relevant and developmental to photography. Pupils develop their ability to actively engage in the processes of photography to build technical skills through learning and practical workshops, to develop imaginative and intuitive ways of working and developing knowledge and understanding of cameras, editing techniques and technologies in historical and contemporary contexts, societies and cultures. The new dark room provides a welcome addition to the current digital photography course and provides pupils with an understanding of the core techniques and processes that were used before the digital era. Many pupils have not experienced the use of film or use of a darkroom, and it will provide a valuable insight into a range of techniques and process. The process of creating exciting prints will be a rewarding process that will reveal new horizons in pupils photography abilities.
