I am in Std XI. As I have chosen photography as my career, could you please tell me the best photography institutions in Mumbai and other cities, and about different types of photography like fashion photography, wildlife photography etc.?
Photographers communicate information, ideas and feelings through films, videos and still photographs. Depending on their specialization, their work may vary. For example, a portrait photographer takes pictures of individuals or small groups for functions like weddings, parties, social activities. An advertising photographer obtains work from an advertising agency and often specializes in one subject such as food, cars, etc. Advertising photography is probably the best paid and most competitive branch. Cinematographers use camera, lighting and related equipment to create the desired visual “mood” or “feel” for a film. Fashion photographers specialize in fashion, cosmetics and accessories. Wildlife photographers capture the animal kingdom and plant life in its most natural and habitual form. Photojournalists take photographs of an event, person or issue, accurately and informatively. They work for newspapers and magazines. The paparazzi fall into this category.
Some of the institutes are:
Fergusson College, University of Pune,
National Academy of Photography, Kolkata,
‘National Institute of Photography, Mumbai,
Academy for Photographic Excellence (Apex), New Delhi,
Sri Aurobindo Centre for Arts & Communication (SACAC).
