Art & Design Photography Advanced Level The A-level Photography course will be taught within the Art Department, a suite of rooms with access to specialist photographic studio equipment and digital manipulation software. Students will explore photographic approaches to working with images, ideas and techniques combined with looking at a range of photographic conventions and genres. Using the work of contemporary photographers, students will examine such themes as portraiture and identity, textures, structures, surrealism and special effects as well as more conceptual projects. In Year 12, students undertake an intensive period of creative study under the guidance of specialist tutors and develop a personal response to a topic selected from an early release paper, each with a range of written and visual starting points, briefs and stimuli. In Year 13, students may specialise in their strongest area of interest, developing a highly personal direction, supported by the tutors. The practical elements are supported by a written related study in which the student explores the artists that have influenced them. A wider appreciation is developed via gallery and location visits locally and nationally.
