Summary: In this episode Kerry discusses issues with the current state of photography education and why it is in such a mess these days. The main problem is that some instructors, both in certain schools as well as photographer-turned-workshop gurus, often fill people with horrifically unrealistic expectations about what they can hope to accomplish as a photographer. In the US the average income for photographers is $29,000 while the average income in the US is $44,000 putting the average photographer not only well below the US average, but actually below poverty level. I’m not trying to crush any dreams here but I think you need to have very realistic expectations and pick the instructors and classes that are actually teaching you skills and setting you up for success and not just trying to keep their own pockets filled. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF0VP-AzJ7E Host: Kerry Garrison Sponsors: GoPro / Blackbelt Lighting Products © admin for Camera Dojo, 2011. | Permalink | 2 comments | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: Education, GoCast, Photography, podcast, workshops Feed enhanced by Better Feed from Ozh The post GoCast #15 – What’s Wrong With Photography Education appeared first on Camera Dojo.
