Photography at IGCSE

The IGCSE Photography course at Deira International School is an exciting and dynamic addition to our Visual Arts department, rapidly gaining popularity among our students. This course is perfect for those passionate about photography and eager to develop technical and creative skills. Students will learn to work with digital SLR cameras in manual mode, mastering the art of composition and formal elements to produce visually striking and creative photographs. They will also gain hands-on experience in studio lighting and build confidence in post-production techniques using Adobe Photoshop, ensuring they are equipped with a comprehensive skill set.

Throughout the course, students will complete two coursework components, each contributing 50% to their final grade. These projects allow students to showcase their talent through a lens-based medium, culminating in an outstanding portfolio they can take pride in. Their work will be celebrated within the school and at external exhibitions, offering valuable exposure and recognition. To further enrich their learning, students will have the opportunity to participate in photoshoots at various locations across Dubai, inspiring creativity and expanding their artistic horizons. This course provides an ideal foundation for aspiring photographers to develop their craft and pursue their passion.
