Photography secrets
Background Photography
Is photography school a good idea for career?
We found this photography school in DC that has a one year program for a certificate. It is about $7000. My wife has a little bit of a background in photography and never finished college and is having a baby soon.
Would the certificate be helpful in her having a career doing portraits, weddings etc. or should she just take some classes and not do the program. We are thinking a four year degree isn’t really an option at this point which is why the one year of night classes sounded appealing.
Please help! We want to know of anybody who went to a photography school and got a certificate or any photographers advice.
Thank you!
If you are a mediocre photographer, no degree, certificate, diploma, etc., in the world will do you any good. If you’re a good photographer, school will help, but won’t make your career.
Have her put together a portfolio of her work and have her show it to any local studios that might be looking for photographer’s assistants.
Having a certificate, etc. may help get her in the door, but a portfolio of outstanding work will get her further. If she is a good photographer, and she wants to hone her skills before getting into the business, then go through the program. If she can put together an outstanding portfolio new, then do that and look at getting any formal training once she is a working professional.
