Art & Design (Photography/Digital) - A Level

The AS/A2 is a challenging, rewarding and exciting programme of study that offers a valuable experience for those with a keen interest in digital image making and photography. The course covers a broad range of photographic areas such as editorial, advertising, fashion, documentary, fine art and creative practices.

You will develop creative skills through a variety of photographic activities, using a wide range of techniques, approaches and experimental imagery, alongside traditional and digital processes to produce a personal portfolio of work. You will investigate historical and contemporary photographic practices, looking at the work of others for inspiration, as well as develop your own image editing and analysis skills. The course will broaden your life-long transferable skills such as problem solving, independent learning and visual language, whilst encouraging your creative potential.

Using our specialist photography studio, wet-based darkroom and digital mac suites, you will learn industry standard techniques to support you in the development of your artistic style and visual communication skills. Integral to the course are opportunities to attend workshops with photographers and creatives, visits to galleries and museums, and participation in creative industry competitions in local, national and international levels.
