Hello aspirant

These days, Photography is fast emerging as a popular career choice among all age groups. Photography is both a science and an art. It is an artistic means of expression, the camera replacing the pen or the paintbrush.

A photographer must be able to create a good composition of any subject, a piece of machinery, the beauty of the human body, scener,y or a child's smile.

It is rightly said that a single picture can sometimes be much more eloquent than a thousand words. Few vocations offer a larger variety of prospects than does photography. Photography is divided into many streams each generating numerous job opportunities.

Photography - Eligibility Criteria

These days several schools offer photography at the 10+2 stage as a vocational subject. There are no specific academic requirements for full full-timer full-time courses in photography; however, candidates who have cleared the 10+2 exam are eligible for the diploma/ certificate courses in photography.

Photography is also offered as an optional subject for a bachelor's degree in fine arts.
