Please enjoy some of our student testimonials listed below.

"Years ago I bought a DSLR. I got by taking what I would call"Lucky Shots" but never knew exactly what I was doing. I've always loved photography and finally decided that this year would be the year I take a photography course. I looked online and came across a few online courses but there was something about The Photography Institute that I really liked.

The course outline was great and the modules were very informative and fun to read. My tutor David was such a great help and always got back to me promptly with great direction and tips if I was lost or just needed that little bit extra advice. I can't thank him enough.

When I started the course I never thought that I would have ever actually started my own business, but I have and I am doing really well in it. The Photography Institute gave me all the tools and direction that I needed to understand the functionality of my camera and take a great photo. They not only taught me about Photography they also pointed me in the right direction to get my small business up and running.

I'm so glad that I took this course. I've accomplished more than I thought I could have and I owe it all to The Photography Institute. I highly recommend this course!

Thank you..."

"All I can say is wow!!!

I have been doing a lot of research trying to determine which course to take for my photography passion.  There were many choices and a lot of attractive sites. The Photography Institute ended up being my choice because of the superior structure of the course and its flexibility.

The Photography Institute had a huge bearing on my progress and I liked the fact that I could move at my own pace even with a full time job and also work out a payment structure which suited me best.  At the beginning of the course I thought I knew a lot about photography but the Institute took me to another level!  The advanced manipulation of light is what I call it...  

The communication was very prompt and all of my questions were answered quickly and thoroughly throughout the entire course.

Thanks to the Photography Institute, I now have my own photography business called Julian Dean Photography and have been very successful with it.

I have told many people about the course and will continue to do so.

Thanks again to George Seper and the team at The Photography Institute..."

"This has honestly been the best photography course I have taken to date.  I have taken both online and in class courses in the past and nothing compares to this one.  George's instructional text, is written in the perfect sequence to help all levels understand and learn photography concepts.  The course is very well structured, taking you from start to finish with very well thought out instruction and assignments to really get students using and more importantly applying the information they learned in the module.

The assistance provided from having my own personal tutor for the duration of the course was absolutely invaluable.  My tutor was always prompt in responding to my questions, and continuously provided constructive criticism and encouragement.  

This course gave me the knowledge I needed to turn a hobby into a career.  I have and will continue to recommend this course to friends and colleagues..."

"A fun and Rewarding Course!

The Photography institute provided me with the knowledge and understanding to be confident in my photographic career.

This course is a fantastic way to learn from the basics of photography all the way to the business side of photography. I found it to be a rewarding challenge, which paid off greatly for me.

Having your own personal tutor answer any questions or concerns was very helpful. Each module and assignment gave me plenty of insight into the topic at hand and although often challenging I didn't find any of the modules to be impossible.

One of the major benefits from this course was the increase in work I received due to what I had learnt.

Whether you are looking to start a photographic career, or just wanting to take up a new hobby, The Photography Institute in my opinion, and through my own personal experience, would have to be one of the best choices you could make.

Thank you to The Photography Institute and my tutor for a great learning experience..."

"As a Land Surveyor, I wanted to improve the quality of the digital images I was providing to my clients. Many shots required tricky exposure and expert settings to wring out every descriptive nuance - 'one chance' shots in rugged environments with challenging lighting.

After careful research, I was satisfied that The Photography Institute would be the perfect match for a busy professional. I needed flexible, online learning with fast one-on-one tutor support. In short, the course delivered as promised.

You’ll benefit from decades of industry insight as George takes you on a journey, teaching you great photography, pausing to illustrate 'getting an eye' and visualizing for the shot, or expounding on the essence and beauty of light.

The course is a good read with a balance of technology, essential techniques, foundational concepts and art. You’ll absorb it as if chatting with a knowledgeable friend. Be prepared for your tutor’s honest, articulate and constructive comments. The Facebook Group is also a great way to connect with 1000s of fellow students globally.

I’m very pleased with my improved technical photography skills. Now I 'have an eye' for the shot and I’m ready to supply industry field images for the unquenchable magazine and web marketplace.

Whatever your reason for following up on this opportunity, know that this course is truly set apart from others, whether self-taught or institute-based. The Photography Institute will not disappoint. If you’re short on time, this is definitely the one to suit your hectic calendar!

Thanks to the PI Team ! ..."

"The Photography Institute is the perfect online course.

I was able to take the course at my own pace and on my own free time, and with two kids (one newborn and one toddler) it is tough to find the time for a face to face course.

This course was very informative and my tutor was very helpful and wasted no time getting back to me on my questions. My tutor went above and beyond expectations to ensure I received the correct information, on the topics or questions I had, he made sure I felt comfortable with my knowledge as I was progressing throughout the course. 

This course has helped me in so many ways, from getting to know my camera and how to use it, to different lighting situations, where to find work, and making my portfolio, just to name a few. I was able to get some jobs as I was progressing, and I just finished registering my business name. I have multiple clients and this is just the beginning.

The course goes into depth and has great links to further your knowledge and is extremely fun in the process. I had a great time and I cannot thank my tutor, the team and George Seper enough.

I look forward to learning more, about the different areas of photography, and I can’t wait for more courses from George Seper. I will definitely be going through The Photography Institute again! Thanks, The Photography Institute!.."

"This course definitely took learning photography to a new level for me. Now, I can proudly say that I am able to create images rather than just snapshots.

It taught me everything from the very basics like knowing your gears and understanding that light is the most important aspect of photography all the way to the business side of photography.

The author George Seper, has an excellent approach for a novice Photographer and was able to guide me to understand why an image can be labelled as great and another not so great. Not to mention my tutor, David Goldman who was always very helpful especially with his timely answers to all of my questions. I enjoyed David's approach as he gave me his honest opinion on what he saw and he never attempted to"sugarcoat" his feedback, which was very beneficial to my learning style.

The support team was always there when I needed anything and they always responded very promptly to any of my needs.

A sample of some of the images that I have created are published with 'Canada Stock Photo':

"Coming into this course, I didn't quite know what to expect. There are hundreds of online photography courses out there, but the feel of The Photography Institute's website and the photographs used felt like a higher quality than the others.

When sending in some initial questions before signing up, the promptness of the student support staff in responding to my questions was phenomenal.

Once in the course, I didn't need their help very much as things are extremely well-designed, but I knew I would be able to rely on them if I needed it.

The course itself was very interesting and easy reading - George Seper, the author of the course managed to get through some pretty technical stuff without making me feel bogged down. He's quite funny and the practical knowledge he shares in this course is amazing. He goes through a very broad range of topics and provides resources if you want to go more in depth on a certain topic.

Through the modules and assignments, I have been able to figure out where I want to go in the world of photography and have been given some invaluable tips on how to make this happen.

Before taking this course, I was a bit lost on where to start and where to go. I now have a direction and a plan that I feel really good about. Although I am just starting out, I feel a lot more confidence in myself from having taken this course. I also feel like I don't have to take the $10,000 course I had been considering! Thanks so much!..."

...Heather Nicholds. Victoria, BC.

"The information learned in this course is invaluable. For starters, it is great to be able to use a professional camera and actually know how to operate all of the functions and get the best images out of it.

The feedback from assignments is also great because it allows the student to see an unbiased point of view. If I have learned anything it is that not everyone sees what I see in an image and that is important to remember when taking photos professionally.

I know a few professionals whose work would benefit from this course, yet it is simple enough that a beginner can understand and develop an amazing career or fulfilling hobby. Great course!...."

"When given the opportunity to write a testimonial regarding my experience with"The Photography Institute" I jumped at the chance. This course provided me with the knowledge and skills to start out my business in photography. My tutor was very supportive and prompt at answering my questions and marking my assignments. He provided me with positive feedback as well as constructive criticism which encouraged me to keep working at my passion as well as enhance my skills. It was amazing to see the work that my tutor has done and know that I had the privilege to work with somebody so talented!

This course allowed me to continue to work full-time and work on the course at my own pace. It was amazing for me to see the improvements in my shots as the course progressed! This course not only provided me with the technical knowledge of my camera and photography, it helped me understand light, as well as gave me the business skills in order set up my career. Since starting this course I have since started my own business"Creative Fusion Photography" and had the opportunity to work with many clients which is my dream come true!!

"The"Professional Photography Course" offered by The Photography Institute has moved my photography to the next level.

My photographs are no longer just photographs, they are images that make people go WOW!

My instructor guided me when needed and was critical when he needed to be, yet he remained very positive throughout the process. I like the idea of the instructors being full-time professional in the field.

The diploma is advertised as cutting edge - and this it is!

I have, since starting the program, created my own website and portfolio and looking forward to using the guidelines given to me of starting a small photography business..."

"The Photography Institute course has helped me immensely in improving my technical knowledge of camera gear and equipment.

The combination of this, plus practical knowledge has resulted in making me a better, more confident Photographer.

Understanding the language of photography is one of the first steps to learning the trade.

The Photography Institute has instilled in me the foundation I needed to begin building my career in photography..."

...Paul Jeffery. Calgary, AB.





"The Photography Institute has an excellent and cutting edge course from beginning to end.

As an intermediate/experienced Photographer, I felt that I might be wasting my money. However, that was not the case! The course offered a lot more than I originally expected and has given me the tools to be a successful Photographer.

I've already noticed a huge difference in my photographs as well as my work-flow. My client's see me as a professional because of the experience I've been equipped with along with the definitions ('photography lingo') I was taught. I recently spent about 6 minutes with a client who asked me where I went to school. I asked them why they should ask me such a question. They responded that I was very knowledgeable and they hired only the best! Take it how you may, I got the contract!

Overall, my experience with this course was great. My tutor was very prompt at answering all of my questions, which was fantastic as I could still maintain my work schedule and of course my income while progressing through the course.

If you ever thought about taking a course but didn't have the time to do so, I recommend The Photography Institute. This is not just because of their well packaged program, educated tutors and really nice website, but because you can work in your own pace, without the fear of missing a deadline and failing the course.

This course helps you build confidence and the skills needed to stand out against the thousands of Photographers out there!

Thanks again to the team at The Photography Institute..."

...Bill Reilly. St. Catharines, ON.





"I really liked the flexible schedule the course offered, the payment plan was also just as flexible.

I feel the course has helped improve my technical abilities as a Photographer. I really liked the tutor system. Anytime I had a question the response was quick and easy to understand. Signing up was easy and I suggested the course to a friend who is now enrolled!

The system for completing and submitting assignments was so easy to use and I found the feedback from my tutor on my work very helpful.

I have just started a photography business with two partners and i'm sure this course will help me succeed.

I would recommend this course to anyone seeking a career in photography!..."

"Before I started this course, I had passion for photography, but I felt that to move to another level I would need some help. 

The Photography Institute was exactly what I was looking for. It offers very detailed modules on very specific topics to do with photography. The amount of valuable information you get in each lesson is truly remarkable. 

My tutor David was most helpful throughout the entire process for me. He always offered valuable advice and criticism. David always got back to me right away and was always so very supportive. 

The skills I've learned have been directly responsible for generating more paid assignments for me. I will use everything I've learned here to continue to improve and keep generating more work..."
