Lately, I have been researching a lot of different universities with photography programs. Two that originally stuck out to me were Langara and Emily Carr. I applied at Emily Carr in January but after I sent off my application I learned that their photography style is more directed at nature, while I prefer fashion and portraits. This brought me to the decision that I will either go to Langara or UFV, maybe both.
Langara is known for having a great photography program and I would go there in pursuit of a certificate. One nice thing about attending Langara is that after you graduate you can always go back and take other photography courses for free. I have been debating about going to UFV for a year and taking some of their photography courses and then switching over to Langara afterwards. This way I could live from home and save up.
As fun as photography is, it can be expensive. I am currently saving up for a new camera body. The body I currently have my eye on is a Nikon D800, it will definitely be an upgrade from my D3000. It is often believed by clients that the better camera you have, the better your photos will be. As untrue as this is, it’s not like we can train everyone’s mind to stop believing this, so it will be nice to have a camera that people will not judge.
