thinking of doing this course which is best? can you help?

[ian505050]

has anyone done an online photography course before?

if so, do you recommend any?

the only 2 i have found that sound good to me are:

http://www.openstudycollege.com/courses/digital-photography.html

or

http://www.thephotographyinstitute.co.uk/index.cfm?code=GO&gclid=CMmit5T4uqoCFQJO4QodUnEb4w

is this a reasonable amount of money to pay?

are the qualifications recognized amongst other photographers and employers?

any advice you can give will be gratefully appreciated

cheers :)

Don't pay for a photography course,

It will be more beneficial to do some free work for a professional photographer, more importantly go out and practice with your camera.

I have met many people with certificates and degrees in photography that don't know their apertures from their shutter speeds, however the successful photographers that I know all learned it by them selves.

The only thing you need is a portfolio, one successful photographer that I know started out around 3 years ago taking pictures of models from modelmayhem.com which can put you in touch with a lot of models wiling to work free. Now he doe everything from weddings to events
