Tips for Doing Well in Photography School

With a camera in your hand, you can capture the magnificence of the world in all its beauty and horror. You can show the ordinary in an extraordinary way, and you can highlight things in new and interesting ways. But first, you need to know how to use it properly. Enrolling in a photography school can be a great way to learn the techniques and methods you should know to appropriately capture each moment on film. In order to excel, and not just get through, your classes, here are 3 tips that you can incorporate into your studies:


Listen to Feedback
Classes are led by experienced professionals with impressive portfolios and lots of knowledge about how to capture various moments in the proper light. As you submit your photographs, talk to your professor. Ask him or her for feedback on the pictures. Know what techniques you're excelling in, and learn what ways you can improve. As you receive constructive criticism, don't let it get you down; instead, take the criticism as an opportunity to perfect your craft and challenge your abilities to get better and improve over time.


Practice Techniques
During your classes, you'll have the opportunity to read and hear lectures about various techniques that can be used. These ideas won't be very helpful unless you get out in the field and start putting them into action. Try to spend plenty of time out and about taking pictures. When you can, drive to the mountains, the beach, hiking trails, and other locations that can help you get different kinds of shots. As you learn new techniques, put in the time and energy into mastering that technique. You want it to become second nature to you, so you can find the perfect shot in the moment.


Collaborate with Students
When taking courses, one of the great things that you can get out of the experience is the opportunity to work with other individuals working to master their photography skills. Along with your professor, these individuals can be extremely beneficial in helping you to learn new things and discover new ways of doing things. Talk to your classmates, review their work, and ask them about how they created their photographs. If taking an on-site course, you may even want to get out in the field with your classmates to see them in action and collaborate on taking different shots with various angles, lighting, etc.


Use the experience to hone your camera skills by getting feedback from your professors, practicing techniques taught in class, and collaborating with other students. By the end of class, you'll have a portfolio of pictures that you can be proud of and skills that can help you go out into the world and find shots that will make people question what they thought they knew, wonder about the world around them, and be in awe of the beauty that you can convey.
