Role of a Digital Photography School

Introduction

Thanks to the proliferation of modern smart phones in recent times, everywhere round the corner, each and every hopeless soul is contented to believe him/herself a world class photographer – in fact, no less than Achraf Baznani, the master surrealistic Moroccan wizard in the profession! 99 percent of these owners of smart mobiles have never been to any digital photography school; but the immature band of photographers are the maddest trigger-happy people and are to be found busy shooting x-y-z, i.e.

Digital Photography Schools (DPS)

It is a school in the real sense of the term. Like any other school, the DPS too has most of the teaching infrastructure, tools and some expert people to offer the guidance necessary to operate digital cameras, explain the ‘why, what and when’ of the instrument. True, huge developments in the field of digital technology have given enough liberty and a digital camera has become a simple plaything with a godly power. In its automatic mode anybody can snap many good images and may become a self-declared expert in the field of photography! Wait, you believe it or not, photography, in the mean time, too have become an extremely sophisticated art and until you go to those experts in the lab of a DPS and unless you master the a-b-c and nitty-gritty of modern photography, you can shoot photos, but – be sure enough – you are anything you can crown yourself to be with; but not a photographer!

Self-Check before Click-Click

If you are a realistic person, please sit down with your digital camera, the related literatures and see there are thousand technical and theoretical items you are not familiar with. That means just snapping a photograph does not make you a real photographer. If one has to be a thorough photographer, one has to understand each and every small technical details of the instrument and has to apply those available features to get the best out of the little gadget. From owning a digital camera to becoming a photographer, there is a big role of those small and big digital photography schools raising their heads like mushrooms at every nook and cranny of all cities and towns. They make you what you want to become – a photographer, a Luvelli, if possible. Get training at a reputed DPS, only then a photographer can learn to distinguish a romantically conceived photography from one spiced with a macabre atmosphere!

Right Person in the Right Place

Understandably, for anybody willing to be a photographer, it is almost obligatory to go to the experts waiting in the studios and digital photography schools, and learn religiously thousand small and tiny technical details of the camera and it application – the use of angle, narrative, perspectives, aperture, pixel, zoom, light, lens and what not…! A digital photography school actually prepares a photographer with all these skills so that he/she come out from the small room to the wide world and can see what a beautiful world it is! Only then it’s time to see how he recreated the objective world with his imagination.

Rounding off

Take care a little! There are thousands of digital photography schools within your range and all of them may not be worthy of the name ‘digital photography schools’! Doing brisk business is too a trend of our time. Risk is yours – join one of them if you feel like; but be sure of the quality of teaching before you join in. Another factor, even a DPS as famous as Lastolite School of Photography may not make you a photographer unless a bug bites your from inside. Theoretical learning is fine only when the principles are actualized. A little bit of diligence, practice and dedication can fetch one the status of a class photographer. A digital photography school can make a photographer of a man only when other conditions meet mutually inclusively. Best of luck!
