One of the most powerful forces in shaping one's persona — and, of course professional journey, — are universities. Depending on their approach, some emphasise a competitive edge, challenging students to push their limits in high-stakes environments; others, however, offer such unique and specialised course that competition fades into the background, creating a space where learning becomes a pure, uninhibited exploration —and that was my experience in the Fashion Photography course at London Metropolitan University.

The best aspect of this course, is its flexible approach to teaching materials, that seamlessly adapt around the any creative personal project that you might have in mind; the worst aspect on the other hand, without a strong passion towards art, fashion, and photography, the course could become challenging.
