Introduction to Exam Material

Hopefully todays lesson gave you some ideas about ways to consider the available exam themes. The powerpoint with the photographers that we looked at today (called Exam Ideas) is accessible through the Shared drive, in the Art and Design folder under Photography and in a folder called Ms A's workshops. Here you can also find all of the workshops that I have delivered since the start of term. Remember to keep the sheet of ideas that we produced today.

Hope you enjoyed bouncing ideas around today as much as I did! :)

Ms A

Make money from your photos? Opinions please

Could the photos you take for fun actually be worth something? Many amateur snappers are now making money by selling their shots online. In fact it's getting so popular the professionals are starting to complain. Dan Simmons looks at some new shortcuts to cashing in. Could the photos you take for fun actually be worth something?

Have a look at some Everyday photos!

Some of you will find the work of Rosangela Borgese interesting. Check it out Guardian Camera Club

You should also read text at the top of the Guardian page that evaluate the work.
