Image Maker

The advent of digital technology has had the biggest impact in the Art, Science and Business of photography after the invention of color films.


 Digital cameras, labs, storage devices, digital manipulation software, etc. have completely and dramatically changed the photography business as the world has known since it began. This synergy between the old and contemporary, results in great images. The impact of visual communication is seen by the innumerable images we see every day in our environment. Photographers are often at the forefront as they document history and social changes.


The resources of these image makers are tapped by virtually all industries and very few people will be unaffected by photographic image capture, in its varied usages and application. The contemporary formally trained image maker is not only a respected self employed professional but also a very well paid artist.
The average monthly salary for photographers in India would be from Rs.7,500/- to Rs.45,000/- and the average professional fee charged by a self employed professional is Rs. 10,000/- to Rs.50,000/- plus per day.
Trends Research Group reported Photography jobs are predicted to rise by 10 to 12 percent through 2012.

So if you have the spark, an ankur, a seed, that the fire of imagination ignites... come to us with your own passion and vision And the process begins... an idea begins to take shape evolving and changing, it is forged and molded and refined... the best thing about this passionate process is that it never ends... wherever your road leads you.

ImagesCampus Mumbai on seeing the photographic images of The Mastercraftsman Graduates at the Luxoculus 2004:

“The work of the students that I saw during the convocation was just awesome. If I was not told that this was done by students, I would have got confused with works of eminent artists and photographers. Elements of Creativity and remarkable work of photography made the display stand out over so many that I have attended. No wonder, Shari's students get international acclaim. I was actually thinking how best can Canon use some of this work in projecting photography. All the best to the students for their vast career opportunities ahead".

"Canon is very choosy in selecting partners in the photo industry. As leaders in the industry, we feel that photography has to become an integral part of day today life for most of us and a piece of art for some amongst us who are real enthusiasts. After examining all options, we zeroed in for Shari Academy and tied up with them as Canon pro-Centre. We would be using this institute to provide exposure to our customers on photography. As the quality of work, teaching & curriculum  in  the institute matches some of the best in the world, we feel that our customers will learn the most. Together, we will create photography leadership in India".

Campus Mumbai on seeing the photographic images of The Mastercraftsman Graduates at the Luxoculus 2004:

“The exhibition was beautiful, I was really surprised at the quality of work the young photographers showcased. I was looking at a professional exhibition in Singapore a couple of weeks ago and I was very disappointed with what I saw, and then I see this, and these are young guys with only 2 years of training and churning out extremely high quality work, made me think I am in the wrong country, Mumbai seems to be the place for photography and films and fashion, now I am going back and telling everyone about this academy.”

Photographers and students mainly prefer to work and learn in Mumbai and similar metros which have advertising agencies, publishing and newspaper media houses, fashion houses and designers, bollywood, fine art, etc.
