Sheridan College Speciality : Art & Design
programme: Photography

I loved my program and really enjoyed my time at Sheridan. One of the most valuable assets to this program are the state of the art facilities and the equipment available to students. It gave me the opportunity to build a high value portfolio and gave me experience using some the industry’s leading technologies. The teachers were also highly knowledgeable, as they are all successful professionals themselves. All the teacher’s are very approachable and passionate about their craft. The small class sizes allows them the ability to spend time working with each student to help them build their career. One downfall is when I went to school the program was still in it’s naissance, and I feel it definitely didn’t focus nearly enough on the business side of the industry. This left me scrambling to try to learn the norms of billing, invoices and resumes upon graduating. Overall, I feel as if a degree is not necessary to break into the photography industry, however my degree did allow me the opportunity to network and gain valuable contacts to give me a leg up.
