Context Students will explore a range of photographic processes and techniques following a thematic approach. Students will participate in structured photoshoots both in the photography studio and on location. Students will learn how to independently research relevant photographers and make personal responses. You will be taught how to analyse and evaluate key works of art and apply this to your own knowledge and practice. You will develop an ability to appreciate to the visual world, respond in a personal and creative way, and produce work that can be enjoyed by a wide audience. What you will study The specification is divided into two components: Component 1 (Personal Investigation) 50% Students will have opportunities to generate practical work, ideas and research from primary, secondary and contextual sources.

Component 2 (Externally Set Assignment) 50% Students will be set a broad based theme by Edexcel in February.
