Save your actual school result to count your credits.
You need to put together a solid body of photographic work that shows you understand how photographers work, and that you can take ideas and make them new or better as you develop your project. This means building a clear project plan, doing research, creating your own images, and refining them through multiple stages to show growth and original thinking.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Establish a clear project brief with a defined topic, intention, and intended audience
- ·Generate original photographs and images throughout your work—not relying on found images or AI
- ·Integrate and learn from photographer models and research to extend your own ideas
- ·Develop and refine your ideas systematically through multiple iterations, showing how your thinking deepens
- ·Demonstrate regeneration of your images (reworking, sequencing, recontextualizing) rather than just repeating the same shots
You establish a clear brief, explore a topic visually with some original photography, analyse photographer models, and develop ideas with basic iteration—showing you can follow the process, but with limited transformation of ideas and inconsistent craft.
