A career as a professional photographer can be incredibly rewarding. You have the chance to capture beautiful moments and precious memories, and present your creative vision in ways that inspire and enrich the lives of others, while making a living doing what you love.

However, the photography industry remains notoriously difficult to break into, and newcomers frequently have trouble building their reputations. A Master's in Photography can provide you with a solid foundation to progress your career, giving you the theoretical grounding to experiment with different ideas and concepts, and helping you build the kind of stylistically diverse portfolio expected from professionals at the very pinnacle of the industry.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to create new opportunities in your existing career, read on to find out how an online MA in photography can help you to fully realize your potential. 

Find Your Niche with an MA in Photography

A career in photography can mean a number of different things. Professional photographers can work as photojournalists, at events such as weddings or corporate functions, or run their own portrait studios. Some even exhibit their work as artists, or capture wildlife and nature images for stock photo providers.

An MA in photography gives you the chance to explore every possibility the industry has to offer and find what’s right for you. By exposing you to different techniques and styles, you’ll gain the insights you need to truly grow and find your voice as a creative professional.

Here’s what Falmouth photography graduate Thomas Butler had to say about his experience:

“Falmouth helped me to develop my own style of photography but also, and more importantly, gave me the ability to continue to develop years after leaving university.”

Some may be working a day job to support themselves as they look to break into the industry, while others fear the time they spend on study will take away from their efforts to build their business and further their career.
