A Level Photography is a visually creative course where you learn new skills in both traditional and digital photography. Throughout the course we look at four main areas; darkroom, studio, location and digital manipulation and based entirely on course work students will have the opportunity to develop in these areas using their own ideas and imagination. The college has great facilities such as a fully working studio, lighting equipment, cameras and accessories, a darkroom and PC’s fully equipped with the latest editing software. It offers a range of activities that are set outside of the course work projects, from music photography to sports and event photography, which will help students gain experience and build a bigger and better portfolio of work. Students will also get the opportunity to come on various trips to see exhibitions and photograph on location, these include a visits to a wide range of galleries and an overnight stay in London. Although this is a course work based subject it is also demanding and students must have the ability and the motivation, using time within and outside of college to produce bodies of work that are of an excellent quality.
