Many institutes in India recognize the talent of such avid photographers and offer various course for them to enhance their skill and thus capture and frame their passion in the form of pictures.
In India photography can be pursued as a career in 2 ways- the formal and the experimental.
Formal training gives you the qualification to work with magazines and newspapers. With time one can choose from a wide range of subjects like fashion, crime, sports, entertainment, daily news and many more. The income growth is also at a steady level. The second way is the experimental way where one can learn by being a trainee under the guidance of a professional.
This involves learning the basics and then moving on to learning the professional techniques.
Bachelor of fine arts (BFA) or applied arts are courses which provide professional training in photography. After Class XII, one can join as an apprentice with a photography unit. Graduation could be pursued through correspondence. One can also pursue courses with duration ranging from 7 days (workshops) to 6 months.
Professional photographers generally begin their career by working in a studio.
Some of the Indian institutions offering photography as a course are:
1.Bhopal Viswavidhyalaya
2.Deendayal Upadhyay, Gorakhpur University
3.Department of Continuing and Adult Education and Extension Work, Church gate Campus, SNDT Women's University, Mumbai
4.Film and Television Institute of India, Law College Road, Pune
5.St. Xavier’s Institute of Communication, St. Xaviers college, Fort, Mumbai
6.Garware Institute of Career Education and Development, GICE, Vidyanagari, Kalina Santacruz (E) Mumbai-
7.The Film and TV Institute of Tamil Nadu
8.India International Photographic Council, 12, Modern School, Barakhamba Road, New Delhi
9.Indira Memorial Institute of Film and Technology, Berhampur
10.National Institute of Design, Allahabad
11.JJ School of Applied Art, Mumbai
These courses and technical training will not prove helpful unless one has the inherent ability to see the world from different perspective. The passion for photography can make one see things which others can’t, capture moods and sentiments from various interesting angles, portray it to the world and thus bring out the real meaning and the depth hidden in various aspects of life.
