PHOTOGRAPHY JOURNEY

IGCSE Photography - PEARSONS

In the first year, it was about familiarising yourself with the cameras, digital equipments and directing your own photoshoots.

​

First task: replicate a photographer from the options provided. I picked 'Cindy Sherman'

​

Second Task: We were given a theme, which was fragments. This project taught me about brainstorming using mind maps, planning photoshoots, mood boards, researching photographers as reference and the deeper meanings to their work.

​

We were also given the opportunity to join a co-curricular 'light photography' where we use LED lights to draw images in a pitch black room, wearing black clothing.

​

Over the summer, a task was given to create 'Summer Journal'. Capturing photos from Koh Samui and a journal that strongly reflected its culture.

​

Third Task: We began our personal investigation based on the theme Past Present & Future. I leaned more towards natural forms and using industrial tools and methods.
