Thank you for taking the first step towards a career in the wonderful world of visual communication and expression, with CLP-School of Photography.
Our Philosophy
CLP- School of Photography is a career oriented, individual, private Photography Academy that helps students develop their own creative vision to reach their full potential as professional photographers. Professional lecturers and photographers have been specifically selected to make our course a practical and stimulating experience. These courses are taught in Afrikaans and English and are 80% practical and 20% theory, with a wide variety of outdoor photographic lectures and workshops. Graduated students enter their professional careers with three industry-approved portfolios, curriculum vitae (CV), and personal business package including: letterheads, business cards and more.
Our Mission
Betsi-Ann Muller founded CLP- School of Photography in 2002, while studying and working as a professional photographer and lecturer in The Kingdom of Saudi-Arabia. CLP’s doors opened in South Africa in 2005. Her highest aim is to share her passion for photography through innovative teaching methods and experiential learning. We have a high quality educational structure within a friendly, creative atmosphere where we expect our students to make the most of their abilities and find out who they really are and what they really want.
The Courses
Our courses are career-orientated and aimed at students who wish to become professional Fine Art or Commercial Photographers. We teach modules that assist students in making sound career choices, which apart from practical and theoretical photography lectures, include; business entrepreneurship, overseas career opportunities, styling, Adobe Photoshop (graphic design), professional make-up, studio and darkroom techniques. These skills give our students the edge, so that they have the tools to start their own business, work as a freelance photographer or confidently apply for the job of their dreams.
We are situated in Durbanville, CAPE TOWN, with easy access to main shopping centers and the N1.
We are non-discriminatory and welcome applications from any interested student. We are non-credit, but will soon be full credit.
We’re a small; family orientated college, and therefore only registers 30 students per year per class, so each student can receive that individual attention. Spaces are limited and classes are already being filled for next year. Registrations close as soon as the thirtieth student has been accepted, so we advise all applicants to contact us as soon as possible.
PLEASE NOTE: Accommodation for student’s living outside of Cape Town can be arranged.
We also have an affordable payment method.
