A level photography summer task

During the summer break think about the theme for your portfolio,

you can choose your own or use one of mine:-

JUXTAPOSE/ ISOLATION/ DISORDER/ HIDDEN AWAY/

GROW/ CONTAINMENT

You need to investigate your chosen theme in depth to consider what social, moral, religious or

political comment might be made within this theme?

Part1. Create a Pinterest board of photographs based on your theme. Look at a wide

range of ideas to inspire your own work. Aim to pin 30+ photographs.

Part 2. Take a number of photographs based on this theme and think about whether

you are exploring this through portrait, still life, landscape, documentary, architectural

photography etc.

Successful photography takes trial and error, you should aim to take over 100 pictures

to ensure you achieve images you are happy with, ready to edit.

Think carefully about the following:

Composition including what is happening in the background.

Exposure

Perspective

You will need to bring in a folder of your images ready to edit on your SD card or USB.

You will be asked to display to the group your best 6 and talk about what you were

trying to achieve and why you think your photographs are effective.

These images will be the first pieces of practical work to feature in your A level

portfolio.

For each of my themes, I used Pinterest to gain some ideas, have a look at what I found. Can you guess what my favourite type of photography is?
