Kathleen BooyseI was so happy and lucky to have been a student at SIPS .; I had a great time and will never forget it. I also met such great people who had a big influence on me, personally and regarding my photography. I am now employed as a producer, the number one stock photography company in the world. I can truly say, though the journey was challenging at times that SIPS prepared me well for the career that I now have. I am proud when I inform others that I am a SIPS graduate because that certificate was earned with lots of hard work, passion and tons of photographs! Coupled with studying, doing practical work is where I feel I gained the most experience and learned the most. We were given the opportunity to practice multiple types of photography including landscape, fashion, sport and theater. The Environment at SIPS is a progressive and enthusiastic environment. SIPS instilled a sense of professionalism & passion in me and is the ultimate environment for prospective students who love photography, multimedia studies and aim to succeed.Carla WindtWow, its so nice to get you guys here on Facebook!
