Why study Photography?
Photography involves using your creative and practical skills. You can often pick up photography at A Level/Level 3 without having studied it as a GCSE subject.
There are lots of different types of photography – portraits and weddings, landscapes, still life, documentary journalism, fashion photography, experimental, multimedia and moving image.
As well as a career in photography, this subject can take you into other creative careers such as graphic design, web design, animation, advertising, games and film design, or visual effects. Photography combines well with art and design, media, graphics and business.
