I don’t think a portfolio is needed I think its a course you come out of with one! But i’ll double check now you have the doubt in my mind! I have a huge interest in fashion so the dream is to do something with that (the BIG dream being high fashion editorial stuff but that’s a bit far off now!) but other than that I want to photograph people, i’ve always thought people are so interesting and want to do something with that. So those are the area’s I want to get into and i’m hoping this course will get me the technical and practical knowledge as well as help me to break into these areas.

Oh wow I love it! It’s the kind of shot that’s so evocative it makes you smile instantly! I think i’d be nervous to try take people’s pictures randomly on the streets! Did they notice you took the pic?

Thanks Peter for the name, I’ll definitely try get in contact with him.

Thorsten, those are good questions and I have considered a lot of them before but its nice to have them out clearly in front of me, thanks. I think undergoing formal education to fully understand all the technical stuff as well as giving me a lot of practical experience before I go it alone is the best step for me. I’m very driven and want to know everything there is about something if its something im getting into so I think the best step is to just immerse myself in it for at least a year…dont know if that makes any sense! It’s a CAO course so I’ll apply in February anyway and I have until August or whatever (cant even remember anymore!) to research it all fully and make sure i’m making the right decision, not to mention save up some money for it!

I was hoping there might be someone here who has done this course before or is at least familiar with it to give me a first hand insight? Maybe not as the B.A such a new course.

The second shot is good but as was mentioned could do without the angle. Her pose is already skewed, there’s no need for the angle to be aswell. However she looks very graceful, bit more contact or intensity in the eyes would be nice. Lighting is gorgeous, great work!
