PhotographyAS LevelA2 Level

Photography is probably one of the only forms of communication that is truly universal, crossing social and cultural boundaries and interweaving itself seamlessly with so many aspects of our lives. Studying Photography will introduce you to a variety of experiences, processes and techniques which will include learning how to use a camera, developing, digital manipulation and montage.

Photography has an extremely important role today and without it our lives would certainly not be as exciting. This course will develop your creative and practical skills and explore the potential of this exciting medium. Follow a programme of study that enables progression to both higher education and employment within photography and art and design where you will develop key skills which are highly valued by employers and universities.

  • Photography is amazing because you can express yourself and your own style whilst creating something visually striking.
  • Photography has allowed me to be creative and expressive through images, instead of having to remember facts like other academic subjects
