The Photography Technician program prepares graduates to apply technical skills and aesthetics in photography. Photographers and camera operators use camera and film to portray people, places and events much as writers use words.
Salaried jobs for photographers are found, for the most part, in photographic or commercial art studios. About half of all photographers and camera operators are self-employed. Many are free-lance photographers who do individual projects on a one-time only or occasional basis.
Local career opportunities exist in all Northland district communities in varying degrees, but career opportunities also exist in suburban and metropolitan areas throughout the state and nation. Related occupations include visual artists, illustrators, designers, painters, sculptors, and graphic communications technicians.
Career opportunities exist in the private and public sectors, both locally and nationally. Computer Technology continues to expand in our economy.
The Photography Technician program at NPC is available at the White Mountain Campus in Show Low, Painted Desert Campus in Holbrook and the Springerville/Eagar Center. Interested persons from other communities will probably need to attend part or most of the program at these Northland locations.
