Course Overview

Stage 2 Photography extends skills developed in Stage 1 Photography and caters to students who are interested in pursuing a pathway involving Photo Media Arts – Practical and theoretical. This pathway will help prepare students for tertiary education and career opportunities in Photo Media.


With teacher support, this is an independently driven course, where students select practitioners to investigate that align with their own photographic interests. Students will build on their practical skills and aesthetics that have been developed in Stage 1 Photography. By engaging in research of historical and contemporary photographers, investigating themes and genres, in both their Visual Study and Folio, students will develop deeper understanding of personal, local, global, social and political perspectives. Students develop a range of transferable skills in the arts such as creative and critical thinking, problem solving and analytical skills.


It is recommended that students successfully complete at least 1 semester of Stage 1 Photography if they wish to enrol in Stage 2 Photography.
