What is A-Level Art - Photography? Portraiture, still life, landscape, editorial, fashion, photojournalism, reportage, and studio - the list is endless. Whether digital or analogue, photography is about visually communicating; summing up an idea, a concept, a message and conveying this to an intended audience to evoke a reaction. Photography plays one of the most important parts in a ever-evolving digital world where imagery, interactions and communications are instantaneous. Photography starts with the ability to see and capture the world around us, to select and compose, to manipulate light and capture those decisive moments. Digital Photography involves the use of technology through digial slr cameras, software like adobe photoshop and the embracing of a app driven world; the use of motion and multisensory imagery becoming ever more important. The more traditional analogue processes are embraced creatively, practiced and appreciated fully. The opportunity to attend workshops with professional photographers, visits to galleries and links to creative industries are an integral part of the Photography course. What will the course prepare me for? Many students go on to study Photography at degree level at a range of universities, most notably the BA Honours Photography Programme at Salford University with the first year being studied at Carmel College. Students may also study the UAL Art Foundation Diploma and then access higher education. The focus of study at higher education can vary from photo-journalism, fashion, editorial, experimental and moving image. The course offers you a great deal in terms of creative development, problem solving, independent learning, analytical skills and reflective/ evaluative skills - all of which are transferrable into a range of careers and progression.
