Why study this course

This course prepares students for a career in professional photography through practical, theoretical and conceptual investigations. Students develop a broad range of capabilities relevant to the creative and commercial photographic industries. The first year enables students to gain a solid technical grounding in core photographic techniques, materials, concepts, theories and processes. In second year, students choose their studies from a diverse range of genres in professional photography. In the final year of the course, students are guided through their own independent study to develop their ideas and extend their skills within the area of photographic specialisation they have chosen. Graduates can work in a broad range of disciplines across the photographic and communication industries.

Student review

In-fighting within staff that was so jaded with both the industry and the world of education that any semblance of gumption was devoted to cynicism. When I left, the course was caught in a weird place where it wanted to be both fine art and commercial leaning, which are at completely opposite ends of the spectrum - even though there is a dedicated fine arts photography course. Business lectures were pointless, how to quote and price yourself was an extra after hours lecture (that was only added after the fact) and only covered the wedding photography industry. I've met students from the RMIT Photography TAFE, they're much better equipped and prepared for the world of commercial photography. It's been some time since I graduated, but if that course remained the same, I recommend considering them. It's a shorter course, with better camaraderie and in the long run less debt.
