PHOTOGRAPHY

Prepare for Year 12 by:

Task 1: Visit the Photography Centre at Victoria & Albert Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 2RL. Be prepared to spend several hours in the Photography Centre. Look at the objects and the photographs, choose three to five items which are from different times and different photographers or makers. Make notes about the objects / photographs, photograph them if you have permission or make basic sketches and notes. Be prepared to talk to the class in September about what you have found out. Use the exhibition guides and the Internet to find information.

Task 2: Take at least 30 photographs using a digital camera if possible, rather than a phone, of THE CITY… get these images printed at a copy shop (cheap) or at a photographic shop such as Snappy Snaps – you can print at home if you have the facility. The images only need to be small, but colour is required. Think about what the city means to you and try to make the images personal. Try to show us images of the city as seen by you. You may want to choose a sub-theme.

Task 3: Get a copy of the book The Ongoing Moment by Geoff Dyer. Select sections of interest to read. Make a list of the everyday themes which the photographers in the book have used as subject matter.
