GCSE and A Level Photography Helmo Full unit

Full unit of work that focuses on Helmo’s Fashion animals series. Teaches everything that is need to hit each assessment objective both at GCSE and A level. This includes:

Artist research and image analysis
Shooting plan and lighting analysis
Contact sheet creation and best images section
Editing pages production
Editing guide explaining how to produce work
Best edit (final outcome) presentation and annotation guide

I use this as the third artist inspired unit that I complete near the start of any photographic course because of the focus on studio lighting, but also because of the simple editing techniques that cover blending modes. Students also learn what is required to hit each assessment objective and helps them gain an understanding of how to present their work in a detailed and reflective way.

Includes stock images of animals for editing.

One of my favourite units as the outcomes can be quite sophisticated considering the process is so simple.
