KS4 GCSE Photography Human Shadows Scheme of Work (SOW)

This inspiring 9-week KS4 GCSE Photography Scheme of Work invites students to explore the evocative world of shadow photography, examining the interplay between people and their shadows. With week-by-week objectives, activities, and homework assignments, students will experiment with various lighting conditions and capture dynamic compositions that emphasize movement, presence, and storytelling through shadows.

Through practical exercises and creative exploration, students will create a visually striking series of shadow-based images that reflect depth and emotion. Paired with short narratives or poems, these photos will come together to form a compelling collection of visual stories. This Scheme of Work provides the perfect blend of technical skill and artistic expression, offering GCSE students the chance to develop a powerful photographic portfolio that explores themes of identity, presence, and narrative through shadow photography.
