Digital Photography will provide you with a rich platform to inspire a lifelong interest in Photography. It is a highly creative subject that will challenge you to respond to given briefs and themes by developing your own ideas. You will have the opportunity to go on location shoots as well as explore studio techniques and learn how to select and manipulate images to communicate your ideas.
We have a fully-equipped computer suite as well as industry standard editing software available across the Academy. DSLR cameras are available for every student who chooses Digital Photography, although you may be inspired to buy your own.
Students are required to work within one or more area of photography, such as: portraiture; landscape photography (working from urban, rural and/or coastal environment); still life photography (working from objects or from the natural world); documentary photography; photojournalism; experimental imagery; multimedia; moving image (video, film, animation).
Students can progress onto university to study degrees in a variety of fields, including: photography; art & design; fine art; illustration; animation; film; journalism; advertising; graphics; fashion; and marketing.
