It has created a huge array of possibilities that seemed impossible just a decade ago. Our new course in digital photography gives you the skills you need to master this versatile and dynamic art form.

Digital vs. Traditional

Many people have a tough time deciding between our regular photography course and the digital one. The best choice depends on how you intend to apply the knowledge you gain. The digital course teaches you all the basics of photography, along with the magic of Adobe Photoshop. It's designed for people who need to use digital photography for business, sales or Web purposes. If you want to learn how to use digital cameras, scanners and get in-depth software training, the digital course is right for you. On the other hand, if you want to become a professional photographer or freelancer, it might be better to start with the traditional course.

Learn From the Best

We've spent years working with experts to hammer out a curriculum that's truly effective. These pros offer a variety of perspectives that will expand your understanding of the most important concepts behind digital photography.

No digital camera?

Most people are surprised to learn you don't need a digital camera to take our digital photography course. Although it's an asset, it's not a necessity. You can get your prints into digital form by using a scanner. We'll teach you how to get the best results using either a digital camera or a traditional film camera with a scanner.

No computer experience necessary!

Don't be intimidated by the seemingly complicated software and equipment involved in digital photography. Our course simplifies all the material so it's direct and easy to understand. All you need is access to a computer and basic knowledge of its operating system. You'll learn the rest as you go along.

Get familiar with the latest software.

Our course will equip you with sound knowledge of Adobe Photoshop—the industry standard. Although there are other image-editing programs, roughly 90% of all photographs published have gone through Photoshop. The course will teach you all the basic tasks that every photographer needs to perform. We'll also show you some creative options and tricks that will give your work that extra touch to make it stand out.
