12PHO

Year 12 Photography (12PHO)

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms S. O'Grady.

The course covers photographic skills and pictorial conventions reflecting on artistic models. Students will learn how to use various camera types and settings to explore composition. They will develop problem solving through creating a series of images around composition and employ editing skills through image selection and the use of Lightroom, PhotoShop and Indesign to effectively express their ideas.

Students undertaking External Standard 2.4 will be expected to commit a certain amount of time outside of class hours as the standards require them to be undertaking a large ongoing body of work. Studio spaces will be available to work in during students' study hours and after school, with frequent feedback available during these times.
