Welcome to AS Photography at Hautlieu School. The aim of this course is to encourage you to think and act in a creatively expressive way. You will learn how to apply a range of lens-based skills to a set of challenges and assignments. We expect you to work hard and constructively critique the work of others as well as your own.
We will discuss your approach to the AS Summer task in the first week of term, and this will form the starting point for the unit itself. Be prepared to show your photography and engage in discussing your classmates’ images too…it will be an open and friendly forum designed to push your ideas and improve your skills with a camera.
