If you would like to a successful photography career, formal qualifications are just the thing to give you an edge in this exciting industry.
AICA Education offers a Certificate IV and Diploma of Photoimaging which runs for 2 years. It is designed to equip students with the skills required to enter this growth industry, as well as an understanding of core business and promotional practices.
Leigh Warner is one graduate of the College how knows what it takes to move from hobbyist to professional.
‘‘I enjoyed photography as part of Art in years 11 and 12 at AB Patterson College and through the hands-on aspects of the Diploma of Photoimaging at AICA Education’’ he said.
“While I was at the College I started my own business, Leo’s Images”.
In addition to educational qualifications, Mr Warner has focused on building a profile through his portfolio.Three of his photos were chosen from thousands of submissions for the Sight Unseen national magazine and exhibition.
Mr Warner said that there were no shortcuts to being a great photographer and those who were successful were passionate enough to put in the hard yards.
“There are people in the field to just make a quick dollar, but for those who really want to better their skills, study or professional tuition is often an attractive option” he said.
‘’I’ve always got my eyes open and my camera on me, so the learning never stops for those who have genuine interest”.
Mr Warner sad the Diploma of Photoimaging covered everything from the basics to best business practice.
“There are heaps of things to learn, from black and white or colour developing through to perspectives and composition,” he said.
“I found the creative aspects of digital imaging the most interesting. There’s so much you can do with new technology, including photo editing and manipulation”.
“I’d run my own business before, but for those who haven’t, instruction on topics like pricing structures would also be helpful”.
Mr Warner said small classes allowed for increased interaction and one-on-one attention from teachers.
Instead of sitting in lectures of up to 100 people and then going home to do your work on your own, you can feel free to ask questions and have discussions,” he said.
“You can draw on the industry experience of teachers who have diverse backgrounds within the field.”
