I'm interested in Photography. I want to undergo a correspondence course, as I will not be able to attend regular classes

Well Sreedhar all you get in correspondence is books. Why don't you buy a few good books and read for yourself? Here are some more thoughts about media, hope you find them useful. 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 vizualizations. 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 &amp; hence may earn in dollars - resulting in better rewards for designers.

Sreedhar, personally speaking I feel that learning Photography though correspondance course is like trying to learn swimming through distance education. Photography is a practical field which cannot be effectively learnt through correspondance course. I suggest you drop this mode of learning and try to enroll yourself in a short-term course through regular mode of education or through 'Part-time mode to learn Phtography. Learning the technicalities of the equipment camera, Lighting, Camera angles etc which can be learnt in the fieled only.
