My experience with sitting the National certificate (NC) Photography course was an interesting one. I obviously did not have the most practical experience as I had to finish my course in the middle of a global pandemic but the beginning and middle of the course was one I enjoyed throughly! Not only did I make some amazing friends and memories I will cherish forever. I learnt so much about photography, more than I would've if I just learnt through books and online courses. In the course you learn photoshop techniques, how to set up for a studio shoot, use flash both on and off camera and so much more. I am so grateful I was pushed to do the NC before the HND as I wouldn't have half the knowledge about photography as I do now and feel more confident in my work to progress more and better it. If anyone went for an interview for the HND and they told you to do the NC first, it may be disheartening but it is so worth it!! I'm so proud of myself for what I achieved this year and I can't wait to see what the HND has in store for me!
