Photography (Commercial)

“I really like the Photography course, I am more of an independent person so I like the fact that we are given a brief and we are allowed to interpret it to allow for our own style of photography. Coming back into a learning environment it took a while for me to get used to working towards and managing deadlines, but my lecturers are all really supportive.

The course definitely sets you up for employment, as well as enhancing your photography skills. We also look at plans for creating our own businesses.

After competing my course, I’m hoping to open my own photography business.”

“I’ve always been more creative than academic and after visiting the College I really liked the facilities and lecturers.

The course allows us to follow our own interests and experiment using different styles. We also have to manage our own time and workload, which is great preparation for gaining employment within the industry. As well as the practical side of the course, we also research different artists and themes.

At College we have two studios and a dark room – which enables us to learn the basics and the correct techniques for different set-ups. We also get the opportunity to go out on location to take photos.”
