Correspondence courses are flexible and comfortable way of studying that allows you to study at home. They are ideal for people who have a full-time job or other commitments. They are open for everybody. This might be a professional who needs to update his knowledge or skills, or a mother who wants to refresh her qualifications before re-entering the labor market.

This course is open for everybody who wants to know everything about professional photography or anyone who wants to bring their photography up to a professional standard.

This course helps anyone to move from amateur to professional level. It is a course for those who want to learn about all the aspects of good photography: depth of field, exposure, viewpoint, alternating film and digital, colour correction, movement, composition, image management, studio lighting, day and night shots, and so much more. You will also find out how to sell yourself, prepare a photographer's portfolio, receive model releases and how to sell your photographs and earn money for a living.

This course includes a lot of practical work with the camera. The course is tightly packed and highly inventive. You can do this course with either a manual SLR camera or an auto digital camera. We do recommend, though, using a manual SLR camera if you've got one. SLR cameras are the most favorite professional photographers’ camera, because they have more control of the camera. Nevertheless, you can do all the shots you need with an auto digital camera if that is what you have. Apart from your camera you don't need anything else to do this course (other than film or memory). Your real-life assignments require you to go out into the field, just like a photographer, and shoot specific shots using different settings provided for you. You will also get to know how to prepare photographic shoot records so that you can present and discuss your photographs as the professionals do.

Throughout your course you will be tutored by leading professional photographers. Career opportunities include: Photojournalist, Professional Photographer, Photo Lab Assistant, Photographic Processor, Photo Technician. Industries include: private, travel, magazine and newspaper industry, corporate, all areas of the media.
Photographers take photographs of people, places, objects, and other subjects using cameras and lighting equipment. A photographer may work from a studio (particularly in portrait photography) or may work on location; either in the field or at a client location. Photographers have a lot of traveling (local, national or international) so flexibility to go on an assignment can be needed in some fields.
