What the college says

Our A Level Photography course, accredited by the EDUQAS examination board, offers an engaging and in-depth exploration of the art and technique of photography. It is designed to develop students' creative and technical skills, providing a strong foundation for further studies or careers in photography and related fields. At the start of the course, students participate in a series of mini workshops that cover all essential aspects of photography. These workshops focus on learning how to use cameras effectively, understanding camera settings, composition, and lighting, as well as practical skills like how to take high-quality photographs. In addition, students are introduced to Adobe Photoshop, where they learn how to edit and enhance their images to a professional standard.

This project allows them to develop their ideas independently, experiment with different photographic styles, and create a cohesive portfolio of work. Throughout the project, students receive personalised guidance from experienced teachers, helping them refine their skills and express their creative vision. The course concludes with both coursework and an externally set assignment, allowing students to showcase their technical proficiency and artistic creativity in a final portfolio and timed examination piece. A Level Photography is ideal for students who are passionate abou
