To ignite ideas for their GCSE Externally Set Assignment, Component 2, and to gather inspiration for their own work, Form V Photography students visited the National Portrait Gallery to see the Taylor Wessing Portrait 24 exhibition. Although the main focus of each photograph were the portraits themselves, the images offered much more. Breaking down the elements of each one, students carefully considered specific areas of individual inspiration. Each student was able to gather enough evidence to inform their first photo-shoot and, a bit later in the Component, some ideas for experimentation. Whatever the individual interest, there was something for everyone.
