Hello,
When looking around this forum, I was unable to find any sub-sections specifically dedicated to studying photography.
Is there such a section have I just missed this?
When studying photography, I am thinking of Undergrad degrees, Postgrad, Diplomas, Foundation, etc.
From my personal perspective, I am thinking specifically of advice for those who wish to study photography beyond short courses. I have done a few of these, and am looking to develop things further from there.
I have been frustrated by the apparent lack of options available, probably created as a result of a lack of information available to help find suitable courses.
I think that I am essentially looking for some sort of course to provide a more thorough grounding in the nuts and bolts of photography. I am thinking ideally of a grounding in analogue and digital aspects. This might mean that a foundation course is most useful, perhaps?
I would ideally like this to be a progression, with the possibility of getting qualifications as something to work towards.
I am aware that this can be quite a broad question, with lots of well, it depends on what youre looking for aspects but I suppose there could be general aspects here. This might include key aspects to look out for with a course, pitfalls to avoid.
I am looking at particular schools/ colleges that might be excellent for studying, and would relocate to do this. I would certainly welcome any advice based on personal experience. Geographically, I had thought of London, but would consider anywhere in UK/ Europe.
I am aware that this is a big area, so this post is a balance between going into sufficient detail to provide an idea of what Im trying to convey whilst, being aware that I am only scratching the surface with this especially given the myriad of courses!
If there is not a section here covering this, then would it be a good idea to create one would other people also find this useful?
If not, then any input on this thread would be greatly appreciated.
I would of course be happy to clarify any aspects of this opening post if required.
Thanks!
