Technically the course covers semi professional camera operation using 35mm Film SLR cameras and using a darkroom to produce black and white developed film with prints. Students will also learn how to scan and edit images using Adobe Photoshop. All produced work is based upon written research and study of both historical and contemporary photographers. Areas that students may wish to adopt in their later projects are portraiture, landscape, abstract, still life, social documentary, fashion and narrative photography. All work must demonstrate a progressive development building and reflecting upon previous preliminary work to produce high quality final outcomes.

Students may wish to go on and complete the full two year A level Photography programme.
