Digital photography

This is one of a series of resources from the Institution of Engineering and Technology designed to allow pupils to develop their knowledge and skills in computing, art and design.

In this activity pupils will use digital cameras to capture images, thinking about lighting and the position of their camera. They will consider how to photograph something close up, in the distance and an action shot. They will then edit the images using image processing software in the style of two digital artists, Sean Charmatz and Stephen McMennamy, joining photos together to create a new image.

Finally, they will consider some of the different job roles that involve creating digital art such as VFX Artist, Web Designer and Gaming Artist.
