Work with photomedia in creative practice

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to work with any type of photomedia professional creative practice.

It applies to individuals who work in many media and disciplines and use photomedia for the creative presentation or documentation of work, or to create parts or the whole of a finished work. It may include still images, film, video, music or interactive content. This unit does not address the specialised skills needed by photo imaging professionals.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence of the ability to:

use research and analysis of traditional and contemporary photomedia practice to inform own work

investigate and test performance of photomedia tools to refine ideas

produce a coherent body of photomedia work using well-developed conceptual and technical skills

apply safe work practices for the technologies being used

assess the success of finished work to meet creative and technical project objectives.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
