Course Content

Through this course students learn how to plan and carry out practical photographic work. They investigate selected photographers’ work and practice, and explain how external influences impact on these. They use this understanding of chosen photographers’ work as well as knowledge of photography techniques when developing their own personal approach to photography. Students develop their creative problemsolving skills as they resolve visual and technical problems. They also reflect on and evaluate their own photographic practice.

The course is assessed through:

· They will also complete a practical photographic project which will assess students’ ability to integrate and apply their creative and technical skills as well as demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of photographic practice.
