I will be starting FdA course this September in Photography with Digital Filmmaking & Creative Media. I will have a budget of £5,000 to spend on for the 2-3 years course. What do you suggest that I should spend my £5,000 on. Please include a laptop or a tablet as well as camera, lenses.
In the 2 yeara FdA course, 1st year I will be focusing on both photography and digital filmmaking with some minor projects. In the 2nd year, I will be doing 5 major projects for real 'clients' (unpaid, of course), and I will be choosing to focus on either Photography or digital filmmaking. I am pretty sure that photography will be my chosen route unless I am better the other route!
As for the photography route, they had asked me to choose between fashion and wildlife, but they are happy to do fashion with wildlife animals (for example fashion and a lion). At present, I couldn't decide between fashion and wildlife (not birds or insects), but I won't need to decide until mid-1st year. I could focus on horses.
Anyway if you were me:
1) What laptop or tablet would you buy?
2) Which lenses do you use recommend mostly for both fashion and wildlife (not birds, or insects)
3) Which lenses, other than No 2, do you recommend for fashion photography? Both indoors and outdoors
4) Which lenses, other than No 2, do you recommend for wildlife (animals, horses)?
Bear in mind, I was told that I can borrow "any" equipment from the University, and therefore, any expensive lenses, you believe I ought to borrow for the time being, can be borrowed.
