This is a private blog site to support the Photography AS/A2 classes I run in Bournemouth - I use it to share ideas, research, useful (I hope!) material, and point out good photography stuff on the web.
When I can I will add other relevant content - exam materials, handouts, etc. If you can think of something that should be here feel free to let me know. Some pages may end up being password protected….
If you think you should have access to the site, please get in touch.
