1 YEAR FULL-TIME | NQF LEVEL 6 | 120 CREDITS | SAQA ID: 71634​

This intensely engaging programme is designed to reveal the photographer’s singular aesthetic vision through significant artistic and technical growth. This allows the photographer’s particular field of specialisation to emerge. The student will learn everything they need to know about professional photography whilst discovering their unique ‘visual voice’ that makes them and their work strongly differentiated. Brand, business and entrepreneurial components are included in order to enable the photographer to develop a business model suited specifically to the genre of photography they are most passionate about to professionally pursue.​​
