Art (Photography)
Photography will enable you to explore all the key techniques that are needed to practice professionally and successfully, gaining knowledge of both traditional and digital technology across a range of photographic mediums. You will be encouraged to highly personal work in order to create an individual vision and style. We believe it’s all about research, vision, experimentation and knowing your audience. You will gain the fundamental skills, techniques and experience required to communicate effectively and begin an exciting career in the photographic industry.
Specific requirements
A grade C or above in GCSE Art or another art and design subject or BTEC equivalent is desirable. Students without this will be required to submit a portfolio.
What will I study?
