p.1 #1 · Online Photography Schools


Has anyone used one of the online photoschools? I'd like hear from those that have used an online school and what the outcome was. I'd like to find a course that goes far deeper into Photography than "how to use a DSLR for great pictures" but not as deep as how to build a lens.

dabbled a bit with the Kelby site but don't think I'd call it school. More of an instructional type of website. Familiar with it already?

Try this one:

It's not a school, but I think it's what you're looking for

I am intrigued by the Art Institute's online photography program:

Is anyone familiar with the program?

Unless you are wanting a degree for a specific reason......

I might suggest finding a pro photographer who's work you like to intern with.. you will learn a LOT more on the job than you will in a classroom, and you might get paid instead of paying.

I've always felt with many of the arts, if you're that good at you do, why pay someone else to tell you you're good? Yes, I understand there can be a certain competitive atmosphere that may or may not help push your work to the next level, but so does the real world.

And if you're not that good but willing to work hard, then do as Nick suggested. Find some real-world experience and soak up as much information as you can while working for someone else. Look not only at how they do their work, but how they run their business, how they deal with clients, how they market themselves, etc.

curtisclegg, I'm biased as I work for The Art Institutes, but it's an outstanding program. Of course, I always think it's better to take it at a brick-and-mortar school rather then virtually. But they're great!
