Photography (A-level)

While we have passed our January application deadline, we do invite late/further applications or expressions of interest (contact us using - sixthform@samuelward.co.uk).

If you have vision, are creative, self-motivated and love photography, then this would be an excellent course for you to develop your skills towards a professional level. The digital world is developing at such a rapid rate, with images at the forefront of everything. This course enables students to learn how to create this content professionally. It is an incredibly exciting time to study the subject, whether focussed on documentary, commercial or artistic in terms of style. The combination of creative brief, small group work, computer editing and on shoot location provides a great balance to the course, enabling the development of a variety of roles and skills.
