Education Are Photographic qualifications necessary?

I am off studying again to complete my BA Hons. in Photography. Back to the grindstone with the Open College of Arts.
It all kicks off the argument as to whether a photographer needs qualifications. I suppose the short answer is no but couldn't that apply to to a whole host of occupations?

However gaining a qualification does seem to indicate a desire to succeed and quite a commitment not least of which is the expense.
Three to six years studying does tend to suggest the difference between a dedicated pro and a weekend warrior.

I could argue further but I firmly believe in qualifications and continued education throughout life so yes I do believe a photographer needs to be qualified.

This image is one taken during an assignment during the course. It was shot me Lance Markham of MM Photography at the Model Mentor Studios.  http://www.modelmentor.co.uk

Babies' first year shoots.

Working hard in the Model Mentor Studios. Another monthly shoot of a baby's first year.
Down at the studio we have many customers who either buy or receive, as gifts, vouchers for their baby's first year.
These consist of a monthly mini studio shoot, once a month for the first twelve months of the baby's life.

They say never work with children etc. But these shoots are great fun. It is quite amazing to watch the kids develop.

Check out the Model Mentor web site for further details.
