This unit introduces students to photography through observation, creativity, and visual storytelling. Students explore how photographers use light, angles, composition, focus, colour, texture, and perspective to capture interesting and meaningful images. Through practical activities, students learn how to plan, take, review, and improve photographs using everyday subjects, natural environments, objects, people, or places.
The unit is designed to be flexible, student-led, and suitable for different skill levels. Students are encouraged to experiment with their own ideas, use available devices, and develop confidence behind the camera. The focus is not on expensive equipment or perfect images, but on noticing details, making creative choices, and creating a small collection of photographs that reflects personal style, curiosity, and thoughtful observation.
