Photography Studies College, commonly abbreviated to PSC, is a privately owned independent tertiary photography college located in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

History

1973 founding

Photography Studies College was first named the Gallery School of Photographic Art [1] when it was founded by Roger Hayne at its present address[2] in 1973,[3] through his business Impact Photography Pty. Ltd., 203 Canterbury Road, St Kilda.[1] Previously a publicity officer for the Victorian Railways he had later worked with the Australian Antarctic Division,[4] and advertised himself as a 'former lecturer in photography at RMIT'. During the seventies he traveled and photographed around Australia, in Europe, Russia, Asia and the Arctic and, along with his photographs from the Antarctic, he exhibited that work in 'Lifestyles and Landscapes' at PSC over July 1980.[5] He was joined on staff by lecturers John Cato, videographer Phillip Ashton,[6] landscape photographer John Riches,[7][8][9] and Ted Keogh,[10] and by tutors Sandra Irvine who trained at Prahran College,[11] and Jean-Marc Le Pechoux, founder/editor of Light Vision. By late 1977 there were 250 students enrolled.[12] In May 1978 the School advertised that its courses 'For a Professional Career' were the first to be recognised by the Australian Institute of Professional Photography.[13][14]

An early innovation of the course was that the first semester students were required to use colour transparency film exclusively, to encourage in-camera composition and to learn correct exposure without the cropping and adjustment enabled in black-and-white processing and printing which was reserved to second semester.[15] Tutorial reviews of students' progress in their photography was conducted weekly.[16] A program of visiting lecturers including photojournalist Graham Bezant, and fashion and advertising professionals Robert Imhoff, John Street, Peter Walton and Michael Wennrich was introduced to augment the teaching program.[9]

Name change

In July 1978 the name had been changed to 'Photography Studies College' supported in marketing by the adoption of a distinctive lens-aperture logo and more modern typeface, and it advertised full-time and part-time courses in "Photojournalism, Expressive Art Photography, Advertising and Fashion Illustration,[17] or Audio-Visual Production" with no formal academic qualifications required for entry into its summer and winter semester intakes of both school leavers and mature-age students.[15]

1980s

One of the College audio-visual productions of this period was 'A Taste of Life', a "sensitive illustration of life for the disabled" which was presented as part of the Moomba program of 1981.[18] The College enjoyed relationships with 1990s organisations including a school for autistic children, the Police Training Academy, the Royal Children's Hospital and the Gertrude Street Artists' Space which each granted students access and permission to photograph.[19] The College maintained a country retreat in Faraday near Castlemaine for weekend classes away from Melbourne.[20]

An 'advertorial' in The Age newspaper in March 1983 promoted College courses in videography, announcing that "the video revolution is upon us".[21] Staff member Sue Scales, interviewed for a 1985 advertising feature emphasised the size of the photography industry with an Australian national annual turnover of $1376 million and noted that the College had a "faculty of nine full-time and part-time lecturers...drawn from both the profession and the arts."[22] Typical fees for a College course such as video in the 1980s was $A500.[23]

1990s

Hayne remained director into the 1990s.[24] From April 1986,[25] Chief Executive Officer of PSC was Julie Moss, who continues in the position. They secured sponsorship from the firm Agfa-Gaevert, starting February 1989, to offer a part-scholarship for photographic materials to selected College students.[26] During the 1990s Moss established the first formal credit transfer arrangement between a private vocational college and a university, a move supported by Dr Robin Williams,[27] then Dean of RMIT. Up until 2013 (when PSC began to deliver its own Bachelor Degree course) the arrangement enabled PSC Advanced Diploma graduates to articulate into a Degree in Photography at RMIT,[28][29] 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[30] 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.[28] By the end of the decade the cost of the Diploma in Illustrative Photography had risen to $8,000 per annum, with additional expense for equipment and materials.[31]

Twenty-first century

The school continues at its original location at 61-63 City Road and now also occupies adjoining buildings at 65–67 City Road, Southbank (previously South Melbourne). In 2013 PSC began offering a unique, fully accredited three-year Bachelor of Photography programme, and in 2018 PSC commenced delivery of a unique, fully accredited 18-month Master of Arts Photography programme, the first of its kind in Australia.[32] It is a dual sector provider of Higher Education and VET Programs, and is a fully accredited Higher Education provider and Registered Training Organisation. The College is a member of Independent Higher Education Australia.[33]
