ASSOCIATE DIPLOMA OF PHOTOGRAPHY (MULTIMEDIA)

Photography and technology are rapidly becoming inseparable.

This course will give you a fantastic grounding in both photography and relevant IT skills which can be used to start your own business or work in a variety of industries. Grow your awareness of industry and opportunities; networking, and developing the sort of attitude that often makes a huge difference between successful and unsuccessful photographers.

You will learn all about photographic technology, lighting, how to take great photographs, manipulating images in Photoshop and how to write your own website.

If you want to start your own business, you can do the Small Business, Marketing and E-Commerce Modules. If you want to move more into the creative multimedia industries you could do Flash and Freelance Writing.  If you want to be a Wedding Photographer you could do the Wedding Photography module.

If you already have some experience in Photography you don’t have to do the Introduction to Photography module. If you are new to the subject, however, this is where you should start.

The Research Project allows you to delve deeply into an area of interest.
