Photography

Course summary

The course is an art based A Level but has cross-curricular links with many other subjects. Some of the work is of a scientific nature and the subject also requires analysis of visual and imaginative concepts. However the ‘art’ of the photography is crucial to achieving personal success. Most students start the course without having any prior knowledge of darkroom photography and some have not studied at GCSE, so it is important to realise that though you will be taught a variety of skills, there is a steep learning curve and you will need to apply concepts and procedures at a high level.
