Title: How to spend £550
Post by: ABERS on February 08, 2012, 08:59:25 AM
Looking through the local news and stumbled across this series of modules in an advert of How to Become a Photographer.

How many of the subjects are you au fait with, or how many have you found to be missing from your repertoire and that are holding you back.

Makes interesting reading! I started off by reckoning that I knew virtually none of it but then when I thought about specifics, I realised I'm pretty much on top of most of it!

And I most definitely know all about • The Photographer's Assistant so wouldn't need that info - here's mine, all geared up:

If I had a spare 550 it would be spent on buying more equipment to just get out and practice more  :tup:

Got to admit I d9id this course a few years back when I first left work - though got a better price than this. If you show interest but don`t book they keep emailing offering cheaper and cheaper. Some bits were way too technical for me but taught me a lot of things I did not know. Got great tutor support too and it was his encouragement that made me think I could charge for work and he helped me meet that target before I finished the course. Was it worth it? For me at that time yes as it fired up my interest and development. As ever depends what people are looking for but it involves George Seper who did a lot of food photography work especially with M&S.
