  • Year 12 A Level Photography Overview

    During our A Level Photography course students will  develop independent thematic projects based around a variety of starting points such as Sanctuary, Environments, The Self, Abstract and Conceptual Art and Still Life. Students develop themes that interest them and allow for sustained focus.
