Photography empowers you to tell a story, invoke an emotion, create a controversy, immortalize moments in time and be a part of history. A career in photography offers the opportunity to create art and work in a rewarding professional field of endeavour.

To create commercial quality photographs, photographers need both technical expertise and creativity. Producing a successful picture requires choosing and presenting a subject to achieve a particular effect and selecting the appropriate equipment. For example, photographers may enhance the subject’s appearance with lighting or draw attention to a particular aspect of the subject by blurring the background.
