I enjoyed all aspects on the course including Digital and Film Processing, Digital Movie Processing, History of Photography. There are excellent tutors and facilities with comprehensive notes. Following on from my year in Ó Fiaich Institute as a mature student, I received a place at Ulster University to study Photography and Video.I would highly recommend this programme to anyone with an interest in visual media, be it stills photography or video production and for anyone wishing to pursue 3rd level education, a PLC course provides great preparation and insight to what lies ahead.

I enjoyed all aspects of the course, as it was a wide and varied range. If I were to pick a specific module, it would be the main photography module itself, and getting to communicate with classmates with photography, and getting to go outside and learn about making images.There are a wide range of courses with highly qualified and helpful tutors/teachers ready to assist in every aspect of the course you wish to study.When I joined the Photography course, I had a fair idea of shooting with a camera on manual, instead of letting the camera do the work, but as the year progressed. Everything I learned on the course applied in my current job as a sports photographer/picture desk editor with Sportsfile (Ireland’s leading sports photography agency). Communication is huge in my line of work, both with colleagues and with clients in PR (Public Relations) jobs where they wish to have their logo shown in such a way and shot a certain way, and making their imagination a reality, which is not an easy job.I would highly recommend doing the Photography course at any and all ages, if you are wishing to become a professional photographer, or even want to take it up as a hobby, or even take your photography to the next level.
