Picture Research - What is it?
|
||
Picture Research, also called Photo Buying, is the skill of finding images for newspapers, magazines, books, TV, video, and new media. It is an exciting and interesting job, though highly pressured at times. With the explosion of new media with a voracious need for images, there are more opportunities than ever for picture researchers, and the internet allows the work to be done from anywhere at any time, which means that it can be a useful job for people who have responsibilities such as small children. Picture research is interesting, stimulating and fulfilling. No two projects are the same. It demands a wide range of skills: initiative, visual flair, knowledge of sources, organisation, negotiation, lateral thinking and common sense. The picture researcher is usually involved in a project from the very start and will have a crucial influence on how the end-product is illustrated.

Testimonials from Successful Students:
I searched online and found Julian Jackson's course. It was ideal for me and I found it very interesting and challenging. Each assignment was very different and covered each aspect of the industry. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to do a course on this subject. Andrew J. Bishop
I found the course to be enjoyable as well as informative. The way it's written also gives you a feel of the reality of being a picture researcher. You are aware that the author has 'lived through' the experiences, situations and issues mentioned. The course is presented in a clear user friendly way with a logical sequence to the topics covered. Sally NewtonCosts:The course costs £295 for UK Students and £330 for Non-UK students, to cover the cost of increased postage to other countries.
