Can I pursue Mass Communication as a Post-Graduation degree? Which is the best college of Mass Communication for Photography?

Hi Hanudeep Photography is a good starting point but a rare end point though, you must look at the entire field of media. There are several careers in media in writing, production or post production. -You can become a reporter, actor or getting behind the camera to direct, cinematograph or do finishing work as an editor, compositor or a VFX artist who can add reality to 3D visualizations. -You may even be a graphic artist who designs the screens, or an animator who brings stories to life as a proxy actor for onscreen characters. You can get into production, whether live or animated. -You can be a story writer who writes for live and animated screens or even roll the story into a video/ pc game. -You can be a script writer who would stop at nothing to give wonderful scene setups to bring the story to life. -You could be an artist who designs characters or who storyboards the film for live or animated performance. -You can also double up as a voice over artist who gives his/ her voice to the characters or dub for movie stars, or even be a radio star. -You can alternatively look at web for a web of careers in web design, online marketing, search engine optimization, content writing, social media promoting. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Sure not recommended for the weak hearted. Do remember that digital design careers (e.g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, VFX, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world and hence may earn in dollars, resulting in better rewards for designers. Some people are passionate about acting, they must understand that acting cannot provide jobs since this is an assignment based industry and one must fit the role. So it could be better to enter this industry after acquiring a technical skill. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.

Hi Hanudeep, Photography is a unique and creative medium of self-expression. It plays a major role in education, publicity, industries, scientific and technical researches. A couple of years ago, the suggestion of photography as a profession, would not have been taken seriously. Photography has mostly been considered a hobby, and at best, a part-time, extra pocket-money earning activity. But today, photographers are so much in the news, in demand and respected financially, that those who have the talent and interest in photography can now seriously consider this a viable career option. With the explosion of the communication network, the growth of advertising and media and the fashion boom, photography has now become a profession with great commercial value. It has become a good source of income and a means to a comfortable life. There are several areas of specializations for photographers: 1. Press photographers supply pictures to the national and local press, and must be versatile with an ability to photograph all kinds of subjects. They must have journalistic instincts, know what makes a good news picture and be able to write accurate captions, work well with reporters, be quick and often work under difficult conditions. 2. Feature photography essentially involves telling a story in pictures and therefore requires knowledge of the subject. 3. Many photographers specialize in the photography of wildlife, sports travel, environment etc. 4. Advertising photographs are taken either by the photographic departments of advertising agencies, by photographic studios, or by freelance photographers. Advertising photography is possibly the best paid and most competitive branch; success depends entirely on ability, efficiency. 5. Fashion photography has developed recently in India. Most fashion photography is done by specialist studios or freelancers who are commissioned by fashion houses of advertising agencies. Other photographic specialties include aerial photography, scientific photography and so on.
