I work full time as a financial accountant and I wanted to take my photography to the next level. It’s been really interesting and valuable to learn even the simplest techniques. I would highly recommend using the Australian Academy of Photography to progress your photography skills.

I chose to do it all online because I work full-time. I can study whenever I like, and it fits in with my lifestyle. There are lots of resources - recommended reading, video tutorials, and the forum. I would recommend the course to others.

Photography is painting with light and to understand how much influence lighting has on your photography made a big difference to the photos I’ve been producing. Anybody that decides they want to take it up as either a profession or a hobby, this is the kind of course that you need to do.

As a past student of the Photography Academy, I have to compliment the course content, tutors and management of Photography Academy. The assignments were well thought out and I found my tutor Miriam to be excellent.
