Photography offers a good career option. Newspapers, magazines, and books make extensive use of photographs. Photographers are in demand for covering marriage functions and other celebrations in a family and events such as public meetings, exhibitions, fairs, games, sports and stage shows as well as for supplying portraits for a variety of purposes which include filing of applications, making of identity cards and portfolios. High-grade photographs are required for the marketing of consumer goods and industrial products. The list of the use of photographs is indeed long and unending.
A photograph is equivalent to thousand words. For movies, twenty four
photographs showing successive stage of overall movement in a scene are recorded per second and rapidly projected one after another on the screen to create an illusion of motion. Such is the potential of the visual medium of communication known as still photography!
Photography is both an art as well as a science and it requires serious and systematic study. An aspirant of a career in this fascinating and paying service industry has to systematically learn the technical and artistic aspects of photography. At Asian Academy of Film & TV, we believe that photography is a performing art and it is best learnt by doing under the watchful eyes of the trainer. This course of study is a judicious mix of theoretical instructions and extensive practical exercises. The course on Art of Still Photography has been designed to prepare the students to take up still photography as a vocation.
The students of diploma course on Art of Still Photography are required to use their own 35 mm still and digital camera equipment and the photographic film rolls and get the exposed photographic film developed and printed at their own cost.

AAFT (Asian Academy of Film & Television)
We have always believed that a film school should take a holistic and realistic approach in its teaching. By holistic we mean that film school training should not be limited to only classrooms and lectures on theories and techniques. Therefore, at AAFT we have adopted a comprehensive training method with equal importance on the practical training of film making and acting.
Believing that training and skill building are quite essential in the field of visual media, Asian Academy of Film & TV, has been imparting education and training in the art & craft of film making in television presentation since 1993.
The academy was planned as an alternative to formal film schools and has since come a long way making a unique place for itself amongst the best global centers of education of its kind. Growing to be certified as the first ISO 9001:2000 film school in this part of the world in less than a decade since its inception, the Academy was also approved as an international level training center by the 125 year old City & Guilds of the United Kingdom in the year 2002.
Students with varied background, experience and culture are selected for admission to the academy for their talent and enthusiasm. Although students spend most of their time on the projects, the education and training imparted at AAFT is more than just a craft model.
Education and training for various courses are provided by expert media practitioners supplemented by visiting guest lecturers who are leading exponents of their specialized skills in the practical craft of film & television production.
The Academy has also done pioneering work of generating training a world class material in the form of books and video recordings on the various techniques of film and television production both for the benefit of its students and the practicing film and television professionals. The Documentation Center of the academy has produced a number of books on the art & screen presentation.
The academy is affiliated to the International Film & Television Research Center which aims at raising professional standards of films and television presentations. Film and Television personalities from all over the world are often the guest of the Research Center. AAFT is also affiliated to International Film & Television club.
Festivals of Israel, Japanese, Croatian, Norwegian and Russian films have already been organized by the Club in the past. Students of the academy greatly benefit from the activities of both these organizations.
