Anyone here starting uni to study photography this year? Or already going to uni? If so what branch are you studying and what do you plan to do when you get out.
This is such a shitty group picture. Group shots should at least try and get people in focus rather than bokeh whoring.
And photo school? Business and marketing would be more helpful to make a living at it.
just dont
i absolutey guarantee you will regret your decision
get a useful degree while simply taking photographs, studying from plenty of sources online, and looking through photobooks
hell, study sociology or philosophy. literaly anything but photography. by all means pursue a career as a photographer but dont waste the value of a degree on something that will literally tell everyone you are an idiot for going $30-40k in debt for a piece of paper that says photography on it.

Major in journalism or business, minor in photography. Make the connections, and still get a useful skill so you can actually put your photography to use. Photography by itself leaves you really good at working a camera, while also working at Best Buy.

This.
Hell, graphics design or just a straight up art degree is better than a photography degree.
No, but I did go to music school. If your country has free education, feel free to go. I certainly learned a lot of stuff, didn't get a job doing it but I'm now going to another school.
If your country doesn't have free education, just know that it's a huge risk. Getting a useful education, then a job, and pursuing photography on the side until you can maybe switch makes the most sense logically.
