Hi clubsnapers,
I just return from Australia after completing my studies. Just registered into clubsnap today. Finally found time for my long lost hobby.
I saw there are so many basic photography courses here in Singapore, from Objectifs, The Photographic Society of Singapore, SAFRA, Stanley Lee color centre, Photographer gallery, some freelancers etc.
Spoilt for choice indeed. I went around asking some of my old schoolmates who are also shutterbugs.
I had a look at Objectifs but the price puts me off. I had at look at The Photogrpahic Society of SIngapore, the so called big brother here. Well, sure value for money. I look at Stanley Lee Color centre, in a way, I heard some feedback and no comment. I look at Photographer gallery. It is a nice place to hangout and talk about photography, given its cosy environment. I look at SAFRA. At first, I thought it is for guys only but thank goodness, now they accept ladies.
I am actually looking for a refresher course to get back my basic skills.
Any advise for me? The worst is I have a tour of duty and try everyone. Geez. Anyway, got quite a bit of time while taking a break.
What I want is a credible school where I can further my interest and passion.
Any feedback about the schools?
In a way, I am also surprised that so many people are out to get a share of the pie in basic photography courses. It was so different when I left Singapore then.
I actually narrowed my choices between Objectifs, The Photographic Society of Sinmgapore, and SAFRA.
Objectifs, being a commercial school, focus quite a bit on journalistic style. Quite sad that Kay Chin is not around there. He used to be my idol actually. And certainly, the digital darkroom facilities of the Macs are one of its kind. The shop is closed to Fotohub, hence the convenience. But the price is a bit too high, especially if I want to go for advance courses after the basic one.
The Photographic Society of Singapore, formed 1950, as per the staff Diana, has 6 instructors throughout the basic photography class, which I find pretty interesting. Value for money, and my friend told me there is this young, chubby and yet energetic instructor who never fail to make you enjoy photography.
SAFRA, given its good foundation and funding, with good darkroom and digital facilities, is on my list. One of the instructor seem to be Yip something, quite a senior instructor.
Arghhhh. Wait for your comments before I register.
