The photography, video and media industry covers a diverse range of professional activity. There is hardly a social activity that does not require the services of a photographer or videographer in some way, and image industry professionals all acknowledge the shift that requires them to be proficient in both still and moving image capture, as well as in all of the associated post-production work. The photography with New Media graduates can also go on to further studies to Master’s degree level and PhD.
