A few weeks ago my brother in law received his highers results (Scottish A levels) via email at about 1am in the morning.
Now he looking to take the next step in his education and this got me thinking about photography degree courses.
I graduated from my photography degree over 10 years ago, having just missed out on a free higher education by 12 months. Back then University fees were greeted with distain but very little rioting.

This summer saw over 5000 students graduated from degree courses in the UK with the term photography or photo imaging in the title.

For those of you that are Daily Mail readers you might have come across the story in yesterdays paper looking at newborn baby photography. The images from Glasgow based photographers Yvonne Watt and Fiona Potter are certainly reminiscent of Anne Geddes but it’s a style of photography that has become very popular.
