Why study at TECH?

Digital Photography professionals are experiencing a real golden age: learn with TECH to work in one of the creative careers offering the most professional opportunities"

It is often said that a photographer's skills are dictated in part by the quality of the camera they own and the lenses they use. Evidently, a camera worth thousands of euros has a greater photographic potential (digitally speaking) than a camera that costs a few hundred euros, but it is also true that skills are acquired with years of study. Owning a professional SLR does not equate to taking better pictures than you would with more basic equipment.

On the other hand, Digital Photography Techniques are truly endless: you never stop learning. Competence comes with experimentation and experience, yes, but solid grounding, such as that offered by TECH through this degree, is also necessary to achieve excellence.

The biggest difference that the advent of technology has brought to Digital Photography is probably postproduction. Photoshop, Lightroom and Raw Camera are just some of the programs used in photography to achieve RAW file processing.

More and more photographers are becoming famous around the world as graphic designers rather than photographers. In fact, graphic design and the photography have now become two complementary jobs.

There cannot be a professional photographer who does not know how to develop their shot in post-production. Although this is a notion that not all amateur photographers like to hear (often the answer is "I like photography, but not postproduction"), once you learn some basic rules about digital enhancements to your shots, you tend to change your mind about postproduction.
