Mr. Rob, I believe you can help me! And your Sarah agrees. ;) :P I'm thinking of going into photography and as you're doing a photography diploma, I thought perhaps you could give me maybe some advice and a realistic view of what the course is like. :) If you like, you can email me back at sarah_liverpool@hotmail.com Thanks, hun! :)
Yeah, sure. :) I don't mind helping. If you tell me what you want to know, I'll try my best to make sense. LOL. What type of Photography course do you want to do? That sort of thing.
There's a lot of work involved, like research and technical notes and evaluations. But it is fun. You kinda get into the swing of things eventually, and the workbooks just churn out. Heh. :D
Thanks hun! You've answered a lot already, about what the course entails (so it's not just sitting on my butt taking pics all day, lol). But I didn't know there were different types of photography courses *sheepish* My goal is to have my own shop doing portraits, etc, but I expect to have to work for someone else first (maybe local journalism).
How costly is it regarding cameras, like how many do you need to buy? I assume you learn all about photoshop, too?
I'm glad you said it's fun. I've been out of school for about 5 years so was worried about gettign back into the swing of things.
There's the A-Level, BTEC or National Diploma. It depends on what the college offers. I tried A-Level first, but it wasn't that good. It was like a classroom, and we didn't do much practical or learn much. So I quit that and decided to apply for the National Diploma. It's a full-time photography course, so you don't have to worry about doing other subjects
( ... )
Well the college I wanted to go to apparantly doesn't do a photography course, lol. So I'll probably just go straight for the Diploma. Especially if you learn a lot more. Edit: Mum just came in from college and apparantly they do do a pre-degree course and I've been invited to go speak to the tutors tomorrow. Yay!
I think I canmange point and click, hehe.;) Thanks for all the info, hun. *hugs* :)
