Photography Schools

Modern Religion by Dick Bloom

Deciding which institution to attend to learn the skills needed to be a photographer is a chore.

The advent of digital photography has created an entire culture of Art Institutes.

Teaching digital camera techniques and digital darkroom software classes does not require the expense of operating a huge conventional darkroom.

They can teach photography online. Teach the classes, give the assignments, students shoot the assignments and upload the assignments for critiques.

Hence, less expensive class prices makes photography education more available to the masses.

How do you choose a school that fits your requirements?

You must first have an idea of what you want to do as a photographer. The profession is very broad. It includes; Art, fashion, commercial, professional portraiture, photojournalism or an array of other genres of the career.

Maybe you just want to learn more about your own camera and computer software to further your skills in photography. Many time you can find a local professional shooter that would be willing to work with you in your pursuit of the photography world!

There are many accredited online classes such as Academy of Art in San Francisco. The school was founded in 1929 and offers accredited degrees from Associate Degrees to Master of Arts degrees all online.

American Intercontinental University Online offers online degrees in Photography ranging from Associates Degrees, Bachelors, and Masters degrees in an accelerated format.

The New York University - School of Continuing and Professional Studies boasts the best online high tech classroom.
