Photography is one of the most popular fields of study and career option in today’s time. It is an ideal field for those individuals that are full of creative juice and have an interest in aesthetics and innovation. Photography also requires technical knowledge which is why education is very important.
When an inherent passion for photography is coupled with adequate technical knowledge and professional training you are bound to breakthrough in the market. Commercial and digital photography are both potentially lucrative fields of operation.
The fact that the world at large is heavily dependant on the electronic and print media has raised the demand for qualified professional photographers globally. Therefore the world is full of wondrous opportunities for those individuals that have managed to undergo proper training and are aware of the different aspects of photography such as light, shades, colors, expressions, nature, wildlife and visual effects.
Where to study photography in India?
India is a country that is adamant on becoming the next super power. Print and electronic media is being used to its full potential. The need for professional photographers has caused many institutes to start offering photography courses to the public.
Generally you will find most institutes to be offering a diploma or a certificate course in the field. Students who have managed to complete their 12 years of schooling in any subject can apply for these courses.
Some of the leading institutes offering photography courses are:
College of Art
Academy of Photography, Rabindra Bharati University in Kolkata
Film and Television Institute of India
Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan, Kasturba Gandhi Marg in New Delhi
JJ School of Art
Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University in Hyderabad
Mass communication Research Centre, Jamia Millia Islamia
Job opportunities for professional photographers
The world is open to professional photographers. They can be inducted in an advertising agency or a newspaper company. Fashion and design houses, news television channels, various government departments, industrial houses and magazines all require the services of a professional photographer.
The nature of work that you will have to do as a professional photographer varies according to the particular industry you join. For example industrial houses and advertising agencies require the services of such photographers who can take themed photo sessions for catalogs, brochures and product manuals etc. A photographer always has the option to work as a freelancer and keep picking up different projects on various themes such as travel, wildlife, sports and environmental photography.
In India your options are extremely varied when it comes to making a career as a photographer. From fine arts to forensic and industrial to fashion photographers have a wide range of options available to them. Professional photographers are frequently hired to cover special events in people’s lives such as weddings and other festivals. As a freelance photographer one can also sell their work to magazines, journals and news agencies.
Similarly the demand for professional photographers is very high in foreign lands. There are perhaps even more opportunities for trained professionals abroad than in India. There are many channels like Discovery that require the services of a professional photographer. You can apply for all the positions mentioned above in the West and other countries as well.
