Yes. Photography can be used as a method of research and development for any of the areas of study. Candidates can work entirely in digital media or entirely in non-digital media, or a mixture of both, provided the Assessment Objectives are met.
While digital media offers possibilities for making art and design, many of the underlying principles are common to non-digital media. Formal elements apply in the same way, although there are fundamental differences between digitally and non-digitally produced images. Digital media can function as a tool and a process.
Students can use digital media within any area of study. Regardless of what type of media candidates choose to work in, all work must be recorded digitally and presented in a digital portfolio for online submission to Cambridge for marking.
Starting 2025, you will no longer send hard copies of candidates' work to Cambridge. Instead, you should photograph, scan, or digitize the work, allowing exams officers to upload it to Submit for Assessment. Please see the article “What is the submission process for this syllabus” on this help centre page for more information. Can candidates use drawing software from tablets, laptops and mobile devices?
If your candidates are producing work that is Art & Design including other media such as painting and drawing, then they may also use drawing software. We recommend that they include screenshots of the layers, tools or filters they have used when putting together their supporting studies and we recommend that all sources are referenced. This includes websites and images that may have been used or any images or processes that are part of the software.
It is important to show which photographs are the candidate’s own work too. For the supporting studies, ensure that the candidates work from a range of first-hand observational and secondary sources to develop their ideas, before completing the final outcome in the exam.
