If you want to pursue photography as an actual career, not just a hobby, finding a formal educational program is probably one of your main priorities.
As you explore the options available today, there are many things worth considering before you get started. Are you currently working another job? If so, how much time are you realistically able to dedicate to schoolwork and field assignments every week? Do you want a comprehensive curriculum, eBooks and one-to-one instruction from real, professional photographers or will you just read tutorial posts and watch free videos on your own? Do you want professional feedback on all your photos or can you effectively critique and give suggestions to yourself? These are all questions worth considering before you commit yourself to your photography education and the pursuit of a successful career.
From local courses offered at your community college to amateur YouTube videos and free online tutorials, we've developed a helpful chart you can reference as you move forward with your decision making process. See side by side how much money you'll pay for different options and exactly the quality of comprehensive education you'll get for that cost.
