Photography Courses

Our courses cover all aspects of photography, from weddings to still life to low light and black and white. Below are just a small sample of the fields covered.

Pets and Wildlife

A famed animal photographer writes: "I’ve loved two things since I was a kid: animals and travel. When I took in my first stray cat, I never dreamed that someday I’d conduct photo safaris in Africa. Now, with the help of NYI training, I’ve become a recognized photographer traveling throughout the world, shooting assignments for magazines, museums, and zoos. Today my camera lets me live the kind of life I’ve always dreamed about. Best of all, I’m well paid to do exactly what I love." If you love animals—friendly pets or ferocious wildlife—NYI training can be the first step toward making it happen.

Travel and Nature

We all take hundreds of snapshots on vacation, but how many capture the majesty and beauty of the pictures in National Geographic or LIFE?

The difference is not just that the pro knows what equipment to use. The pro always asks himself three vital questions before he snaps the shutter. Few amateurs even know what the questions are! You’ll learn them in your very first NYI lesson, and your travel and nature—and vacation—pictures will never look the same.

Sports and Photojournalism

If you crave the action-packed atmosphere of the Super Bowl or a national convention, then this may be the field for you. Sports and news photographers roam the world, recording human drama, alert to poetic moments of insight. NYI trains you in the techniques of this adventurous field. What’s more, you learn how to get started, including how to sell your pictures to local newspapers and magazines. And you receive the Official NYI Press Card that can help you get through police lines, onto the playing field, or into the arena.
