L3PHO

Level 3 Photography

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms P. Hansen.


You will learn about traditional and contemporary approaches in photography and how to apply these ideas inventively.  You will use of a range of photographic and digital media to investigate, generate and develop photographic ideas to produce a body of work in photography that is externally moderated.

We highly recommended having a personal device as it greatly increases the students opportunity for success as they are able to support work done in class with ongoing homework. If you are thinking of purchasing a device for next year to be able to be used in these digital courses, the Adobe suite will unfortunately not run on a chrome book and works best with Apple software. We would recommend a mac book, however, the department strives to make sure resources are accessible for all students during school time.
