"I came into this Course knowing only to shoot on Auto now I never use Auto. After learning so much and doing the amazing assignments I feel so much more confident to pursue my career.
My tutor was honest and supportive and that was invaluable information to receive!! I am off to pursue my career as a dance photographer. Now I just need to practice like crazy what I have learned!!
Here is the start of my work: www.hollyireland.smugmug.com
Last week I did my first job of taking photos of a local dance school's Nutcracker and I actually sold 44 pictures. I can't believe I have already made some money!! What an amazing thing to do what you love and get paid for it!!
Thanks The Photography Institute!!!! "

"Finding the Photography Institute among many others was a blessing. It was clear from the beginning that it was going to shine a light in the updated digital world of photography and illustrate the makeup of the industry at a professional level.
It was a lot of fun to complete the assignments and gradually discover the great potential of my camera and the huge range of possibilities in the computer lab. The honest, realistic and many times amusing writing in the Course modules kept it light and interesting to the point that once I started a module I could not put it down until it was over. I awaited the grading of my assignments like a kid!
Besides the links to industry information provided in the lessons, the photography done by the PI tutors is absolutely stunning and shows the level of expertise that the Course expects the students to live by and produce later in their careers or amateur work.
The Course has given me a realistic confidence and knowledge base to start producing professional quality photography. This has allowed me to get a position in a web based publication in which I continuously post articles and images of my area of expertise which is photography and architecture.

Furthermore, this Course has helped me in my own professional aspirations and marketing and it has given me a good perspective into other fields of the photography profession I would not have dreamed to survive in. This is all due to the clear and honest experience that George Seper has embedded into the lessons.
I hope there will be more Courses to come and wish you all the best light for all of your Photos!
Thank you PI!..."

"The Photography Institute offered me the chance to realize a goal and dream that I have had since I was a little girl, to become a photographer.
Without exception my Tutor through this Course has been by my side and willing to answer and help me in any way he could to bring my dream to realization. The information held in the Course has been invaluable, teaching me the technical areas that I would otherwise never have learnt.
My work was always critiqued in a non threatening way. My tutor and the support team were always very professional and helpful.
The Course has been challenging and it has been a joy to work through each module. It was exciting to wait for each of my assignments to be graded. I have been thrilled with the professionalism and the ease of taking this online Course.
Thank you very much for helping me to realize my dream. A very special thank you to David, my tutor, for which I would not have been able to complete this Course, you have been a star..."

"At first I thought the camera exposed the scene perfectly, but since completing this Course I now find that my pictures are much more correctly exposed.
Thank you George Seper and his team!
I feel a lot more confident about entering the wedding photography business. At first I was afraid at not having the optimum exposure for a wedding shoot and that my photos would not look as good as others who have taken pictures at a wedding for a long time, but now I can be sure that my shots are up to par, if not better than theirs!
I liked how timely the responses were with my tutor. My tutor was also very critical about my photos, which helped me improve even more. The Course has made me think a lot more when I take my shots.
Thank you again George Seper and his team..."

"This Course was worth every penny! I began the Course as a relative novice with my camera and now I operate mostly in full manual mode with a full understanding of all my camera's functions.
Additionally, I now have a good understanding of Photoshop as well as the business of photography. The ability to work online and the flexibility in being able to complete the Course at my own pace was great!
I would definitely recommend this Course to everyone who would like to take their photography skills to the next level..."
...Charlotte Stevenson, Santa Monica.
"I feel The Photography Institute has provided me with the required skills to be successful in my photography career, so much so that I'm sure I can overcome any obstacles that may arise during a shoot, or even afterward in the edit process.
It is an honor to be the benefactor of George's rich technical and artistic photography wisdom and background. I dare say that anyone who invests the effort to successfully complete this Course will be a far better photographer at the end than when they started regardless of their skill level upon entering the Course.
A huge thank you to George and The Photography Institute for my gained knowledge and confidence..."
...Daniel Rude, Binghamton.
"The Photography Institute offered me a solution to studying and working at the same time, which was vital to my lifestyle and not only did I find the Course easy to understand, the student support was extremely helpful and allowed me to study at my own pace.
My personal tutor was a key factor in my learning process and I felt his comments were not only instigative but also motivating. The amount of technical knowledge I brought from this Course is outstanding and I was surprised at how quickly I understood aspects of photography that I would have before considered complex.
I would recommend this Course to both amateur and professional photographers, as even though photography is my career, there were many things I feel I would have missed out on had I not taken the time to study.
Thank you to George and The Photography Institute for everything I have learnt here and the experience I have gained throughout my Course..."
...Lauren Cook. Stevenage, UK.
"As a stay at home mom, who was busy home schooling two children, I chose "The Photography Institute" for the convenience of being able to study at home.
The Photography Institute was affordable, with an option to pay weekly, which enabled me to pursue an education I otherwise would not have been able to obtain.
I appreciated the chance to work on assignments around my family's hectic schedule. Thanks for giving me the wings I needed to get started.."
...Meredith Winner, Millville.
"I want to deeply thank The Photography Institute and George Seper for helping me achieve a high level of knowledge in photography. Prior to taking The Professional Photography Course at The Photography Institute, I completed a professional photography Course at New York Institute of Photography (NYIP) and have determined that there's no comparison.
This Course is far superior to the Course offered by NYIP. I only wish that I could have taken this Course 35 years ago, and then I would have become a professional photographer and not have studied for 9 years to get a doctorate in physics.
The Course layout is excellent in that not only do you learn a great deal about photography but also the business side of the industry. It helps you understand what you're up against if you decide to pursue photography as a professional career.
The prompt feedback you receive from your tutor is invaluable. They give clear and precise feedback and advice as you progress through each module.
The flexible online learning Course was perfect for me, working full time as a consultant and travelling regularly around the country.
Overall, the Course has given me the knowledge, drive and confidence I need to succeed and I can't say thank you enough! Becoming a great photographer will always continue to be a learning curve for me but having taken this Course I know I will succeed.
I am extremely grateful to George and the Support Team at The Photography Institute for helping me reach my goals and start a new career in professional photography..."

"As someone who always took better than average photos, but never really understood why. I was starting to be called on to shoot events and as such I really needed to make sure my skills were top notch.
Working online and at my own pace afforded me the opportunity to fit this Course into my already busy schedule. I also loved the ability to read the modules and then take a little time to get out and shoot some pictures and put the teaching into action!
I enjoyed the writing style of George Seper and the assistance of my tutor was fantastic.
One thing I found invaluable was the knowledge of equipment and how to buy what you need but not break the bank on investing on equipment that becomes obsolete overnight.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this experience and would recommend it to anyone who wants to move from good photography to great photography...."
...Michele Kieweg, Wisconsin
"If you're looking for a photography Course that covers everything from the 'How' to the 'Why' of both photography and the photography business, look no further than the Professional Photography Course.
The instructors are knowledgable and experienced. I appreciated the constructive and personal remarks they gave me on my assignments. I became ill part way through the Course and could not have completed it had it not been an online Course with no deadlines for assignments to be completed.
The reading material is technical, but laced with humor and written in layman's terms. I have benefited from this Course and would highly recommend it to anyone...."
