Welcome back to The Shot List, where we delve into the debate over formal education in photography and videography. In this episode, we share our contrasting experiences: Carla pursued formal education, while Jessica is entirely self-taught and contemplating further schooling.

We discuss the benefits Carla found in structured learning, such as technical training and the opportunity to make mistakes in a supportive environment. Meanwhile, Jessica raises questions about the financial investment and the importance of building a portfolio.

Ultimately, we conclude that the decision to pursue formal education depends on individual goals and resources. Whether you opt for structured learning or self-teaching, join us as we explore the pros and cons of each approach in the world of fashion photography and videography on The Shot List!
