Photography A and B

Design, Technology and Engineering - Digital Communication Solutions

SACE Stage 1

10 or 20 credits


Photography A and B are hands-on courses where students build creative and technical photography skills. Both focus on image composition, camera settings, and the design process, with students encouraged to choose their own subjects. Students are expected to take photos outside of class time for best results.

Photography A covers the fundamentals, including composition, lighting, depth of field, landscape, still life, and portraiture.

Photography B builds creative foundations with a structured, but experimental focus on techniques, editing, and processes. Students apply their skills to planned image outcomes and explore methods suited to their individual goals.

Assessment
Overview
Students complete three folios. These include two skills-based folios, which focus on different areas depending on the course. In Photography A, students develop skills in composition and depth of field. In Photography B, students explore alternative digital and analogue techniques.

The third folio is a Design Process and Product folio, where students research photographers, plan and develop a concept, experiment with techniques, and present a final series of images. All folios include visual and written documentation of the process.
