- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
And on that note, how important is an education in photography?
I'm a young journalist who's always had a passion for photography. I've realized recently that I like taking photos for my articles more than I like writing them.... so I'm in the midst of making a career change.
Since I already have a Bachelors Degree (in English Lit.) and experience taking photos for my newspaper and also some minor freelance work, will it really make a big difference in I get an actual photography degree? And if so, does it make a difference if I get a Bachelors or an Associates?
I'm thinking about going to Brooks Institute in Ventura, CA, but I'm trying to decide if all the extra school is necessary for a career as a photojournalist. Of course I'd *want* to go to the school either way -- I love learning and improving myself -- but money is the issue here.
Thanks for your help,
