Answer 1

As an Interior Designer, you work with colors and designs... you know about design, shapes, textures, complimentary and complementary colors... if you take a photography class, you will learn to see things photographically (not the same as a designer) which will enhance your skills and talents. You can also use photography to record your work or for future ideas or for a portfolio for future clients to see. It can't hurt but it sure can help you out tremendously.

If you're going to take the course, see what kind of camera they recommend, digital or film (for the course). If digital, I will recommend the Nikon D70S with the kit lens; if film, then I suggest the Nikon N80 for its versatility and fantastic features and body build and ergonomics and the lens I recommend is: Nikkor AF 28-105 f/3.5-5.6D or if that is too expensive for you, get the older version of the lens, the Nikkor AF 35-105mm f/3.5-5.D-macro. These are the most versatile lenses you will find and you cannot be wrong with them. I will also suggest that you get the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D lens for low-light situations. You will be glad that you did, believe me.

Have any questions? Send me an email and include a working email address I can respond to and I'll try to respond to the best of my ability.

Oh, check www.keh.com and see what you can find there; keep checking every few days and be ready to buy once you see what you want because their products do not stay on the shelves very long! Good luck and best wishes.

hi ...just finished my degree about a month ago in fine art and am hoping to gto and do graphic design, my uncle does it and has told me the best possible way is to do a 3 month placement for free to get the experience, and that once ive done that i should be away(hopefully this will lead to art advertising director in which you can think of adverts for a living). He told me that even if I had come out with a first in graphics i would still have to start at the bottom and even though i wouldnt be doing it for free i still wouldnt be on that much until i understood the job properly I am assuming that most careers are going to be this way if it be television( a runner) web design or graphics etc. Maybe if you could try and get as many placements as you can maybe on summer holidays or even one day a week which would give you an advantage when you leave...also dont froget you could do a post grad after you finish in a chosen career path for example Gallery curator( it only takes another yr) Also you could become a teacher as back up, you get something like 6 grand to start to clear your student loans and you get more every so often!! Whatever you do though dont panic...you more than likely to change your work over the next 3 yrs more than ever before as your degree is when it all happens and you will definitely have an idea of what you want to do by the time you finish.

There are no rules about who can and cannot take up photography. If you like it, pursue it. Maybe by taking some classes you will find that it is a good way to combine two things you love. Maybe by already being an interior designer you will find a market for your photographs. You won't know until you try. Good luck!

picasa is a Google's photo software. It's what should've come with your camera.
