The course is divided into the following three areas: Practical investigation: Understanding and use of equipment and processes. Camera, light meter, studio lighting, film processing, darkroom, enlarger and chemical processes. Use of digital cameras, Photoshop and desktop publishing. Health and safety. Personal study: This involves an extended essay offering an opportunity to study a photographer’s work in depth. This may include gathering information from a practising photographer as well as from written sources. A chance to demonstrate your planning, technical and creative skills. This is essentially a practical course and students will be expected to become skilled in all aspects of the techniques of photography including the processing of black and white images traditionally and in the manipulation of digital images using Photoshop. Students will develop visual and critical skills, study the history of photography and become familiar with the work of established photographers. The main emphasis of this course is CREATIVITY.
