Have you taken a photography course?
Gave your daughter one?
Please share your experience.
I'm looking for a highly proffesional course/school for a very talented young lady that wants to enter th e field.
Does it pay to take a B.A in photography?

Any ideas welcome.
Thanks.

Thanks for this information.
I'd love for my daughter to have a more structured schooling/training sort of.
Once she's done with that I really dont mind her watching/taking additional videos.
Am I backdated? Like, is YouTube the way today?

Where are you located? In Brooklyn Devorie Zutler teaches very well-organized photography classes to women and older girls on all different levels of background and experience.

I know she's starting a new group now.
She has an alumni page on her website where you can check out the works of her students.

I know a number of professional successful photographers that took her courses. I was very impressed with their work.(From a client's POV)

She has courses in many locations.

Ok
So Devorie Zutler is one choice and seems to be a good one.
Anybody know of anything else?
Did anyone take TTI graphics and photography bachelor's?

I'm a photographer. I learned a lot through courses I watched live or purchased from CreativeLive.com. Posting my images for critique in Facebook groups was also very helpful. Good luck!

Do you think that before she does anything online, a live starter course will be useful or is it just a waste of money? Zutler is in the 500 range.
Do you mind sharing with me which Facebook groups? I'm not very tech savvy.

I'm not sure I'd recommend these FB groups for a frum teen. Sometimes the discussions turn somewhat inappropriate.

I offered her she should watch/learn online but she's more frum than me. embarrassed

She doesnt want to see the pictures seen on all of those sites.

The photography course from TTI is very good, from what I hear. I know someone who took it and she said it was very thorough and professional. It's not a bachelor's.
