We have a wide range of different types of photography ranging from fashion to food, or newborn to weddings. I like that we get to have many workshops to practice different techniques and learn many new skills. I would like to be in an extra day in college to get as much practice as I can as I am eager to learn more and it could reduce the course length allowing us to go out into the work life sooner.

We get a 1 on 1 meeting throughout every project to speak with our tutor on how our work is coming along and how we feel about the project so far, and if we need. There are areas in college where you can go and speak to someone privately if you need to speak to someone about something on your mind and all the staff support each student regardless of the situation.
