starvy Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 <p>Anna, it might be an idea to acquire the course plan and post it here for general inspection.<br> Much depends on where you want to get to. Do you want to be a professional portrait or wedding shooter? If you do then the option of secondment is better than any professional qualification. If you want to be a fine art photographer it might be an idea to take some art school classes. For the dedicated the internet is a great resource.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anna_herriman Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hi thanks, there's two courses I'm looking at. They are: http://www.thephotographyinstitute.co. uk And the other one is: http://www.inst.org/photography- courses/become.htm What do you think of these? I also would like to work towards Licientate membership of the Royal Photographic Society. http://www.rps.org/licentiateship So which way should I go? I'm thinking I would like to specialise in sports photography at sporting events, I need to try my hand at other areas to work out where my specialism should be. Thanks. Cheers Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
