A look at the photographic life of Bjorn Thomassen - part 4 of 1 2 3 4

Research repeatedly proves that creative photography combined with creative marketing will considerably outpace the relatively untrained masses with their DSLRs.

What of the future? Bjorn feels that stills and the moving image will continue to combine, well into the future. Both photographers and videographers may want to make some forward planning and training decisions to enjoy a healthy co-existence of these exciting media. Bjorn sees this as a stimulating evolution as well as an opportunity for us photographers.

One aspiration of Bjorn’s is to see the resurgence in film and traditional printing continue to grow. Aside of the romantic and nostalgic reasoning, it’s interesting to note that Tremough Campus, in Falmouth, Cornwall has one of the most advanced and modern photographic and educational departments in Europe. Yet they have sought to include in their multimillion-pound facility, roll-film cameras and huge traditional darkroom facilities with compulsory student participation from photography degree courses. With so many of the world’s most revered images shot on film and developed traditionally many decades ago, this type of learning strips away the highly technological and teaches the candidate what the benchmark of fine photography actually is, in its rawest form.

On Bjorn’s training he offers an expansive range of 12 subjects of learning from ‘the art of photography and photographic psychology’ to ‘advanced lighting and even DSLR video’.
