Im looking for tips, advice, comments, suggestions, any feedback at all about college/university courses for photography in Ireland or abroad.

I want to learn from the best and be surrounded by like minded creatives to try realize my potential.

As of yet I’m unsure of what style and what particular area or areas of photography I wish to specialize in. I do, however, know the power photographs can have and want to harness that power to convey ideas, themes, messages, emotions, I may wish to share.

Some of the photographers I admire are: Ryan Mc Ginley, Laurel Nakadate, Gordon Parks, Sally Mann, Ben Watts, Chris Hondros, Tim Hethrigton.

Any feedback, brief or detailed, would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

If you would consider distance learning, you could look into the Open College of the Arts, http://www.oca-uk.com” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;
You can study up to a BA in Photography there. The courses are written by Michael Freeman, and you get a tutor who comments on your assignments.
The OCA blog is here http://www.weareoca.com/category/photography” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;

Or why not try a course in New York?

DIT and IADT both have BA Hons in photography, I hear the DIT is more commercial whereas IADT is coming from an artistic side. There are also other courses in Limerick and Cork but not to the level of BA Hons. Try Limerick college of further education and St Johns College in Cork.

I’m doin a fetac course in Sallynoggin, helping me a lot with constructing a narrative with my photographs. I have applied to iadt and dit, I’m hoping the fetac course will give me the edge to get in to one of those courses. Here is a link to the webpage http://www.scs.dife.ie/COURSES-photography.html

Feel free to ask me Q’s.
