Overview

Diploma - Photography

Whether your dream is to capture that definitive portrait, have your photos grace the pages of a fashion magazine, or take photos for the world's leading brands, Centennial College's two-year Photography program will help you achieve your goals. 

In this hands-on photography diploma program, you'll be capturing images from day one and learning the technology, techniques and business theory for a lasting career as a professional photographer. 

This photography program will prepare you for the aesthetic and technical demands that come with working in a studio or on location to produce captivating images that tell a story. 

Over two years, you'll progressively build the skills to compete in the commercial photography industry and learn what it takes to grow your brand and create stunning images for a variety of clients. 

Through your participation in the Story Arts Image Xchange, a real-world stock agency and incubator for emerging photographers, and the many scenarios that will allow you to collaborate with students and faculty in other programs, you'll have many opportunities to publish your work. 

You'll also be able to put your skills to work in a professional setting during a seven-week field placement.

When you complete the Photography program, you'll have the skills to operate your own photography business or find employment in related occupations such as fine art printing, advertising, publishing, graphic design, and gallery and studio management.
