I could sincerely say that every module of this course was fascinating and enjoyable to read. The way it is written is easy to understand, including for non-natives like myself, it is thorough and covers every aspect of photography. It is well structured, well explained and far from boring, and the touch of humour is just great!
Mr Seper is a down to earth tutor, and this makes a big difference in the learning process as one feels comfortable asking questions without seeming ridiculous. He has provided honest and valuable feedback throughout the whole course and has always answered questions promptly. The student support was helpful, friendly and professional, and the entire experience was enriching, and I am very thankful for each one of them.
This is a very good course, and I recommend it to everyone who wants to understand the process and method to create great photographs worth putting in a frame.

Thank you very much to my tutor Steven Vote for the honest and important feedback and guidance during this course. He doesn't hold your hand but rather pushes you to think outside the box and be confident and creative. He gave me the tools to think for myself, and everything he said to me was constructive and thought-provoking.
This course took me from a complete beginner to someone who always thinks about taking new images and expanding my knowledge. It kept me sane during the lockdown and gave me another outlet to focus my energy on. I have loved being part of the Photography Institute.

I have always been passionate about photography, but I was never comfortable using my camera. My goal was to start using manual mode and explore all my camera settings.
At first, I was watching numerous tutorials on youtube, but I felt that it wasn't enough. I really needed the interaction with a tutor! Someone to guide me, help me, critique my photos in a productive way and make me improve.
The course helped me a lot to understand all the photography fundamentals and be 100% comfortable while using a professional camera. I would highly recommend it to anyone, professional or hobbyist.

This course is a definite must for pros and beginners alike.
As the best part is you are being taught by industry professionals who have turned their hair white in this field as they are working professionally since the age of 'FILM Photography'. They belong to the category of people who can take the best shot by just viewing it through the optical viewfinder unlike us who have to do trial and error on LCD screens.
This course will not only cover your new camera but even the history of the camera and their types. Also, the content that is written was not done using a textbook language, rather it is like you are reading a hilarious and interesting novel. Every chapter is definitely a good read. This course today has not only made me come out of 'Auto' mode but also has made me able to walk on a creative path of my own.
I stand by 'Photography Institute' as a proud student and wish all the best to our tutors and upcoming students for the journey ahead.

The Photography Institute offers with this course a solid education in Photography. The course consists of 12 Modules which cover different aspects of Photography. I liked to learn on my own pace and to receive regular feedback along my learning process.
I have learned so much thanks to my tutor who answered quickly to my questions and has supported me with constructive and professional feedback. The contact with the student support is very effective and the support of fellow students in social media is always constructive.
Thank you, George Seper, for creating this course, the Photography Institute for offering this education online and thanks to my tutor for helping me through this wonderful journey!

This is a course that I would strongly recommend to anyone and everyone who really like to learn professional photography.
The course has a myriad of articles and engaging activities from understanding exposure, creative techniques for composing different types of photos, to interesting assignments that put what you learn into practice. Speaking from experience, things just get better each step of the way with the culmination of earning the Diploma.
Mr. Steven was fast in response and very professional in his guidance, it was great to work with an industry professional.
Thank you Photography Institute and all the staff who have helped me achieve my goals.

This course has taught me so much about photography. Reading the modules and working on the assignments was great.
My tutor has been very helpful throughout this experience and he gave really good feedback on all of my assignments. The student support team has also been helpful from the very beginning.
This course as a whole has been such a great experience and I enjoyed every second of it. I would recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in photography.

I had been a hobbyist for 6 years and finally decided to professionally enter the field of Visual Arts but first I needed an understanding of the technical aspects involved, industry infrastructure basics, along with a touch of history of photography, to build a strong foundation on which to build my career. So I set out towards finding myself a reputable Institute which was one daunting task!
In this day in age, the academic/vocational education market is flooded with photography courses of all sorts, and managing to find an affordable, deeply informative and thoroughly professional Diploma Program was no easy task. However, the solution came, to me, in form of The Photography Institute; with help of a highly knowledgeable & extremely supportive tutor, I was able to embark upon my journey towards becoming a Professional in the field of Photography & Post Production. I couldn't have been happier and more satisfied with my choice in the program.
Not only have I gained skills & confidence with every module that I passed, I am already starting to comprehend my strengths better and am able to take informed decisions in what direction to move forward and what niche best suits my style and skill set.
A great Chinese Philosopher Lao Tzu said "The Journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" and years from now when I look back I shall be ever grateful and proud that The Photography Institute was my stepping stone to realizing one of my life's fondest desires...to share a part of me with the world and build a career for myself doing what I love - Photography! Thank you PI.

I would like to recognize the effort from my tutor Mr Steve, for his amazing and outstanding remarks, on each Module of the course.
The course has helped me to develop and become more creative. It has strengthened my belief in myself. I feel like I'm one step closer to achieving my goals.
When people around me commented on the changes and effort in my work, it felt great that I had dedicated this time to studying.

The Photography Institute's Online Professional Photography Course has been an immense challenge and inspiration to me.
I have seen my photography skills improve dramatically over the duration of the course along with my confidence and knowledge too.
I thoroughly enjoyed the personal tone of each of the modules and the comprehensive assignments - although challenging, they were always applicable. The criticism and feedback from the tutors was fair and honest and I learned just as much from them as I did the modules throughout.
It's a well rounded and informative course that is very enjoyable. The Professional Photography Course has turned a passion of mine into a skill for my new career.

I love art and creativity, and this course has provided me with a well-planned steer toward becoming a better photographer. I would like to thank George for sharing his professional knowledge and the helpful support team for making this journey such a pleasant learning experience.
The course has a myriad of articles and engaging activities from understanding exposure, creative techniques for composing different types of photos, to interesting assignments that put what you learn into practice. Speaking from experience, things just get better each step of the way with the culmination of earning the Diploma.
On top of that, assignment feedback provided by George has been both insightful (based on his personal experience) and encouraging. The thing I find that sets this course apart from the rest, is the personal mentorship along the way and the genuineness with which everyone at PI brings demonstrates.
Thank you once again to the team at PI for a job well done and making this so worthwhile. I highly recommend this course to any keen photographer.
Dubai
This is a course that I would strongly recommend to anyone and everyone who likes to capture moments in their lives through a lens.
I like photography as a hobby and even after searching for hours for more information on the internet about photography, I found there were no proper guidelines and the information was very confusing. After I took up this course I was suddenly back on track, everything was covered comprehensively in this course.
My tutor was fast in response and very professional in his guidance, it was great to work with an industry professional.
Thank you PI and all the staff who have helped me achieve my goals.

As I didn't have much time to sit down in a class to listen to lectures, this course really helped me out with that. In the beginning, I didn't think I could benefit much from an online course. But the interaction between me and the tutor really made a difference. It was easy to communicate with my tutor, not only module's related, but photography as a whole.
My friends and family said they can really see me grow as a photographer since taking this course. I'm now thinking of how to market myself, rather then just taking photos.
For those of you who really love photography and want to learn more, but have limited time, this course will work for you. Trust me, it did work for me. So go ahead, sign up, you will look at photography in a totally new angle, or should I say, you will look at light in a new way. As they said, photography, is painting with lights.
I would really like to thank everyone who made this course possible.
