GCSE in Photography

Photography involves a great deal of commitment and a tremendous amount of work.  It is more than just taking pictures, if you chose this subject you will learn to produce work of a high standard and have a portfolio you can be proud of.

Course Overview

This will be offered as a single GCSE. Pupils will focus solely on wet and digital photography.  This is a good choice if you like being creative but do not always like traditional forms of art and design.
