freelance photographer
I'd always been interested in photography as a hobby then I decrded to take it further. I'd had loads of different Jobs before I went back to college. I was working in a book shop and I was starting to get bored. I really wanted to do something different. Photography JUSl seemed the perfect thing for me to do.
i Signed up for an HND in Photography at Stevenson College. I heard about the course through a friend who had already enrolled to do it. The course lasted three years although you could have opted to do it in two if you had the time to do that much study. I did a degree foundation c0urse before it.
It opened up loads of opponunities for me. Before the course had even finished I started work as a photographer's assstant. So the course allowed me to do that. and wrthout it I wouldn't have been able to go into a working enwronment. It was fantastic for that and that‘s where my photography really took off from. I'm now a full time photographer.
l'd absolutely recommend going back into education, whether you are looking to change career or just to take up a new hobby. It‘s been the best thing that I could have done by a mile. I'm really, really pleased that I did it. www.alanmc.co.uk
