I think there are short classes available locally. You can pick up some local mags like DCM, Asian Photo, etc. and look through the adverts or events pages.

But overseas, you can take a Bachelor or Master of Art in Photography. But not sure how those formal degree courses will add value to your photography business/career if you are planning to start one.

Best way for you to start immediately, hands-on, is to follow one of those outings. You can learn quite a lot from the older fellas in one afternoon and you have actual practice. Hey, why not join the upcoming Canon gang (but not limited to Canon DSLR users) outing to Zoo Negara on the 5th? Check out their thread.

Anyone of u can ask our pro portaiture, rad!cal, his doing diploma in photography and perhaps he can give some advise on it.

For me, a photography is not only about capturing images u saw but its more like how u want to show an impact, that touched human senses, to other ppl.

Gear i have o ready...getting my D80 with 18mm - 200mm VR Lens. Photo everyone can shoot...but nice o not nice...is another story. I can take quite a decent picture...but if i look at pro taken in mag...i was like...how the hell they take all this picture...they using the same gear as i....hmm

Is there a diploma for it?? i plan to take part time lor...not to say going serious into this line...much more like an strong interest...

This thread is similar to the pinned thread of what is a pro photographer?

today i went to mynews.com to see got local photography mags or not,but cannot find,where to find??
BTW,we should ask Rad!cal to open a thread as photography class......hahaha........

thanks

ahh. well i got mine at used magazine shops.

where do you stay btw? If you're around PJ area, there's a used magazine shop at Amcorp Mall. they always inform me when my orders arrive.

J-One @ Amcorp Mall?

goldfries,is it??
btw,i'm finding one arnd KL town............haha
thanks

aiyoh fren i'm talking about used magazine shop la.

J-one is ground floor. this one is about 2 floors up and on the other side of the arcade.

it's called Re-issued Mags or something. if you can't find it, well it's right opposite an RC Hobby shop.

just bought B&W magazine (december issue) several days ago. most are articles bout great photographers..and their great B&W masterpiece.

Heard J-One is for Professionals. My friend went there and he felt like a mouse coming out...

J-One = camera shop
Re-issued Mags = magazine shop





your friend has inferiority complex or what?

J-one shop is very simple. left side, a bunch of lens. right side also a bunch of lens. back is their office area.

Simple shop. in fact their shop looks very humble.

have a look.....
