    Centre for Creative Photography

    Supporting photographic artists of the future

    The Centre for Creative Photography (CCP), located in the Sunjive Studios Adelaide innovation precinct, is unique being the only dedicated private photographic school in South Australia. As a boutique school, CCP caters to a student’s individual needs, with flexible study options both online and in-person.

    With growing technological requirements, CCP recognised the need to improve their internet and began researching a new location. When considering Sunjive Studios Adelaide, CCP founder and Director, Gavin Blake recalls, "Being part of a creative hub as well as having super fast internet seemed like a perfect match.”

    Sunjive Studios Adelaide was established by filmmakers from across Australia, with the precinct supported by the ultra fast GigCity connection that caters perfectly to the clientele of tenants and filmmakers. The powerful cloud computing and storage capabilities provided by GigCity supports highly interactive and visually immersive experiences, aligning perfectly with the needs of the film industry.

    "We offer a variety of photography courses, workshops and masterclasses, as well as studio and facility hire, making the exceptional speed and flexible pricing options of GigCity perfect for our needs,” says Gavin.

    The speed and reliability of the GigCity connection has supported the CCP operations in many ways. The digital suite is equipped with data hungry software programs such as Photoshop and Lightroom, and GigCity supports the computing power with its unlimited bandwidth, speed and reliability.

    Having no lag on lectures has been a major benefit for both students and lecturers, providing confidence in the technology. “Our lecturers can focus on the content of their tutorials, because they can be confident that the technology will work,” says Gavin. The mixed delivery lectures are all recorded and can be accessed by students across Australia.

    With the shift to offering more online courses, the GigCity connection has become more important than ever and a valuable support for future offerings.

    "We can confidently provide comprehensive online courses, including live lectures due to the reliability and speed of GigCity. It enables us to focus on our core business of educating and creating successful, independent-minded photographers and nurturing the artists of the future.”
