Course summary

You will study lens and light-based media primarily focused on digital imaging. Work in photography should form a means of personal enquiry and expression involving the selection and manipulation of images. Students will have the opportunity to employ creative approaches which go beyond mere observation and recording. This course will provide opportunities to record experiences, ideas, information and insights in a personal way. Students will need to explore themes in practical and written forms. Reference to historical and existing photographers, as well as theorists, will help identify and interpret relationships between the work of others that portray similar ideas.

Entry requirements

Minimum of 5 GCSE grades at 9-4 or BTEC Distinction* - Pass. Students must have taken GCSE Art, Photography or Design & Technology and have achieved a minimum of a grade 6. They should also demonstrate an ability to work directly from observation and develop ideas in a continuum, and an awareness of the importance of keeping a sketchbook, work journal or visual diary.
