PHOTOGRAPHY - Level 3
NCEA LEVEL 3
CODE: 13PHO


This course aims to continue to build and refine skills in Photography techniques and Photoshop. Students will also learn how to develop ideas through photo-shoots, analysis, artists’ models, concepts and techniques. Level 3 Photography will suit students who enjoy and have talent in taking photos. To be successful at this subject it would be useful if students have enthusiasm for Photography and experience using Photoshop. Students will need to be able to think creatively to extend and develop their ideas to a given brief. 

Students should already know how to use a DSLR camera in manual settings through doing L2 Photography the year before.

Level 3 Visual Art students may choose to participate in a group exhibition for internal assessment.
