What the college says

Why study Photography? So what kind of photographer do you want to become? Food, Wedding, Criminal, Fashion, Commercial? Photography has been around for a long time but modern developments have allowed it to evolve in to something very different from the early days of light boxes. Whether you are in to the more traditional photography or the whacky photo art side, A Level photography here at the Academy is an exciting and fun course. Over the two years you will spend time out on trips, learning studio technique and getting to use high end photography equipment to enhance your work. Photography is great fun and will not only develop your passion for looking and seeing, but be a skill that you can take with you for the rest of your life. What will I study? You will study various photographic techniques including using professional lighting and other equipment. You will learn more in-depth technical camera skills and this will then give you a knowledge base to build on. Practical workshops are completed on a regular basis in and out of the Academy, as well as exciting trips to galleries and places of interest.
