Certificate - Professional Photography
Hallmark's intensive 1400 clock-hour Certificate in Professional Photography is delivered over ten months throughout four sequential phases. The curriculum features seven primary courses of study; Art & Technique, Digital Imaging, Design & Imaging Arts, Marketing, Management, Personnel and Finance. Each of these courses is supported by numerous individual classes that are taught in an integrated manner in which each and every student participates. Most classes are presented to small groups of students to promote individual attention and provide opportunities for interaction with instructors during class.
"Going to Hallmark was the best decision I have ever made. Not
only did I gain the business and photography skills that I need
to be successful in this competitive industry but I also gained
self confidence. At 21, I live and work in Manhattan as a
professional photographer. Without my education at Hallmark this
would not have happened for me. "
- Melissa Hoskins, Class of 2008
