What the college says

In this course you will study a range of themes working from still life to the natural world and experimental imagery. You will combine practical creation of your own images with critical studies of the work of photographers from past to present. You will develop and improve your knowledge and ability to take and enhance imagery digitally and in some cases using conventional wet photography. The majority of the course is taught on Apple iMac computers incorporating the use of Photoshop CC, although all will get the opportunity to work in the darkroom. If Photography, Graphics or Art have not been studied to GCSE, an interview with portfolio may be required. Possession of a good quality digital camera is expected.
