What the college says

Photography A-level is linear and will run as a two year A-level. In Year 12 students will learn a variety of photographic and contextual skills, including darkroom, Photoshop, alternative processes and digital editing. Students are encouraged to develop their own ideas into independent studies which will include studying photographers and artists to develop their own intentions. Students use a wide variety of Photographic media to realise photographic artworks. A wide range of media and techniques will be explored; students will secure sound knowledge of how to interpret contextual sources. Students will need to explain the development of their ideas through both written and visual information, submitting all research and final piece for the art exhibition. This will be the foundation for their A-level.
