12PHO Course DescriptionContact Person: M. Brewster
Year 12 Photography
Students will research information about photography processes, procedures and techniques. They will then develop approaches for manipulating/creative effects with photographic images. The goal of this course is to develop skills in picture making techniques and for students to move towards a sense of personal direction for the externally assessed portfolio.
Students learn how cameras work and the range of technical functions to further their inquiry and ability in this subject. Students express their learning through individual research, experimentation and presentation of their work. Students need to be able to work independently on individual and original project ideas including homework photo shoots outside of class time.
