Hey Hey Hey,
Been looking at this course for a few days now seems good some of the examples of work are pretty awesome;
http://www.fashion.arts.ac.uk/courses/honours-degrees/ba-fashion-photography/
I was wondering -
-Has anyone on here done the course?
-If so what did they think of it? good, bad?
- Are any other institutions offering a similar / better / worse course?
Now I know there is much debate over wether such a course would actually be beneficial to building a career as a photographer, but basically Iv done a degree in History and have no real expectation to get a job in a historical field (if there is such a thing), so iv mixed feelings about that aspect.
Is it just an expensive waste of time, within which you admittedly seem to get to play with a lot of fancy lighting gear
or genuinely a useful learning experience?
Guess I should also add a bit of context to my questions for those who care to know, I'm 21, from london, I have a BA in History, I got into photography while at uni and competing in Mixed Martial Arts (cage fighting to give it a crude name). Mainly I'v done your standard fare of still life, but as i said what kicked me off was MMA and iv shoot a few live events and a music festival as well as, what i hoped was some travel style stuff. I'm currently in Sydney as I was foolish enough to come here for a year, not avoiding work but just hopping to do some in the bloody sun ( its been sydney's coldest summer for 50 odd years not pleased) so thats where I'm at now. Im sure I could get on a grad program back home, which my parents would love but I'm at that stage in life where I'm still young why not do another degree in photography after all thats what I'm enjoying at the moment???:bonk: (discounting the finical burden
)
