The travel photography course is the latest addition to MatadorU.
In late 2009, Matador opened the online “doors” of MatadorU, offering a 12-week travel writing program for beginners and professionals already in the field.
To date, more than 200 students have completed the program, and many have gone on to attain internships, writing gigs, and scholarships. Others have enjoyed seeing their name in print publications, and still others have monetized their own travel blogs so they can earn money while they’re traveling.
Today, MatadorU launches its second course, a travel photography program that also consists of 12 modules. Developed by Matador editors and professional photographers Lola Akinmade and Paul Sullivan, the course also features interviews and continuing education material contributed by working photographers whose work has been featured in diverse publications, including National Geographic.
As with the U’s travel writing program, students will have access to daily market leads posted on our Market Blog, and will enjoy the support of fellow students. Given recent additions to the U, they’ll also enjoy feedback from Matador’s editorial team, as well as periodic portfolio reviews by acclaimed photographer Gail Mooney, whose work has been published in National Geographic and Smithsonian.
