Photojournalism graduate school?
I just recently completed an undergraduate degree in Art History at a prestigious (though small) liberal arts college, and I was only a few classes away from double majoring in Studio Art with a focus in photography. I have a large portfolio of my works, and am considering getting a masters of arts or masters of science in photojournalism.
I want the program to include:
* Documentary photography
* Photo editing
* Lighting techniques in photography
* Online photojournalism
* Communication law
* History of photojournalism
* Ethical issues in photojournalism and mass media
I want to try and complete the program in 2-3 years, as I’d like to try and start a career asap.
What schools have a masters program? I’d like to avoid Boston University because I have slightly bad history with them. In a city would be best, such as Seattle or Portland or NYC. Also, I can go anywhere in France, as I speak fluent French.
I see photojournalism as opening more doors than my art history degree, as it might give me communication and technical skills that are applicable to the workforce (and it would at least allow me to set up a website where I could give myself some professional credit to at least take wedding and party pictures for money). After that, if I’m a total failure as a photographer and photojournalist, I’d like to try Cultural Property and Art Law.
Thoughts?
Frankly, it appears you need to do more basic research on your own as it appears you’ve haven’t really solidified any particular degree path or job you can viably get post grad as your interests appear to be terribly scattered.
