People Ask
-
Yes, it is—in fact, it can be more beneficial to learn online. The reason is that you can learn at your own time and at your own pace. Photography is a complex subject, so going back over things as many times as you like, whenever you like, is a positive thing when learning photography.
-
It is possible; however, learning from free resources online can be haphazard and throw up more questions than answers. What we offer at The School of Photography is structured and accurate education that will leave no confusion.
-
You'll be pleased to know that The School of Photography is a 5‑star‑rated education provider. We’re rated 5 Star on Google, Facebook, and other popular review sites.
-
One of the best online photography courses for beginners is The School of Photography’s Beginners course. This has had hundreds of five‑star reviews and is structured and delivered by a professional photographer and educator who has been teaching photography since 2002.
-
The first thing to consider is what you want to learn. Most beginner photographers, whether they are at the beginner or intermediate stage, should take a beginner photography course first. This will ensure that the fundamentals are clearly learnt and practised before you move on to more advanced courses. If you have been taking photographs regularly for over five years, this may place you at an intermediate to advanced level. If that's the case, you may well jump straight into our online photography courses in wildlife, landscape, portrait and other advanced genres of photography.
-
YouTube videos have a different purpose: they're made to be quick, and they need to capture your attention from the start. They use clickable titles and thumbnails that entice you to click the video. They are also not structured, meaning you will find learning photography via YouTube a slow and frustrating process. The primary purpose for a YouTuber is to get you to click and engage with the video. This is because it's free for you to watch a YouTube video, but it's not free for a YouTuber to create that video. Therefore, they need to earn their money by getting you engaged with that video, and that takes priority over education.
The primary purpose of paid education is to make sure that you receive the most accurate, thorough and concise education possible for the money you spend. Paid education removes all the frustration and confusion that you may find from free videos. Not only are we experts at photography at The School of Photography, but we are experts in teaching photography. This makes a big difference to the speed at which you learn, the knowledge you retain, and ensures that you get the correct photography education from the outset!

Our structured online photography courses remove the confusion often found in free videos. Every lesson builds on the previous one, giving you clear photography education that develop your confidence step by step.

Who leads your education?
Hi, I’m Marc Newton and I run the team here. I’m a photographer, an educational speaker, author and teacher of photography.
Teaching Photography has been my passion for many years. I got my first paid photography job in 1997 whilst doing my photography degree, but in 2002 I decided to give teaching a go and I haven’t looked back since. I loved seeing the stunning imagery my students produced. It filled me with a real sense of joy, and still does today.
I wanted to take all of this teaching experience and offer it up to a wider audience, so in 2012 I started The School of Photography and now I teach people all over the world this beautiful craft.
My qualifications are as follows:
With more than 20 years of experience in teaching photography, rest assured you're in the best possible hands.
