Should I go to a professional photoschool or get a masters in photography?
I currently have an undergraduate degree in education. I was thinking of obtaining a Masters degree in Photography, or should I go to a professional photography school, such as New England School of Photography (Boston), Portfolio Center (Atlanta) or Miami Ad School (Miami) I have a strong background in photography and have had my photographs displayed in galleries.
I think you might avoid a professional photography school AND getting a degree in photography.
I’d suggest you get your degree in Fine Art and apply what is learned to your photography. If you want to be displayed in galleries, you want to be recognized as an artist – and photography is simply the medium you choose to work in.
If you have your degree in photography, people will critique you on your technique, craft and skills – while that is a very important part of the Art Making – I think you want to be critiqued on the content as well.
