History

Photography Studies College, initially named Impact School of Photography, was founded by Roger Hayne[1] in 1973 in City Road. Until 1967 Hayne was Publicity Office for the Victorian Railways and left to to work as photographic officer with Australian Antarctic Division[2], and was a member of the Prince Charles Mountains survey party in 1969, before setting up the photographic school in South Melbourne. Mount Hayne in the Prince Charles Mountains, plotted from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) air photos of 1965, was named by ANCA for him.[3]

Managing Director of PSC, since April 1986,[4] is Julie Moss. During the 1990s she established the first formal credit transfer arrangement between a private vocational college and a university, a move supported by Dr Robin Williams, then Dean of RMIT. The arrangement enabled PSC graduates to articulate into a Degree in Photography at RMIT,[5] and PSC became the first private Australian college authorised to provide photographic education to international students. Moss improved the professional viability of College courses by liaising with industry bodies the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance and the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers to create key pathways into the industry including a mentoring program established in 1993.[5]
