AP Studio Art Photography

<p>Hi guys (: I wanted to ask if I could do Photography for AP Studio Art 2-D Design.
I think I'm fairly well at both 2-D and 3-D, but it would be nice to specifically do Photography for 2-D
I know it's possible to have your whole portfolio using only photography, but I was wondering how they would grade my portfolio if it were all photography
Also, do I have to use Photoshop or any other sort of software to manipulate my photos in some way?</p>
