"Brilliant Course!"

I have signed up for the the Complete Foundation Photography course without any idea of how to use a camera but with a desire to learn more about photography, and make it my hobby. The course was extremely thorough, hands-on with various assignments and very well delivered by Holger (our teacher). I liked that there were only a few students on the course which allowed Holger to provide individual support and feedback on our work. I am now extremely inspired and feeling more confident about using a camera. I have now booked in for another 2 courses with LIoP!

"Fantastic course!"

The beginners course was incredibly thorough and well taught and I learned a huge amount. Holger was an excellent teacher and the small class size meant that we all got one to one help on the practical aspects of the course. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to get into photography!

"Beginners & Intermediate courses in Photography"

I enrolled with a brand new camera and no experience of photography outside of an iPhone.
The two courses, with the fabulous Caterina at the helm, have given me so much more confidence and understanding of photography and of my camera. I am looking forward to taking further courses in the very near future.

" Fashion Photography Course"

The Fashion Photography Course offers high-quality content and supportive environment. I felt welcomed and well-guided throughout the entire experience. The curriculum covers all the basics, including lighting techniques, and the practical assignments give real hands-on experience. By the end of the course, we came away with a quality photoshoot. Overall, I highly recommend this course for its excellent teaching and friendly atmosphere.

"Beginners Course"

The course was very good and I would definitely recommend it. It gives you good foundation in the basics of photography, with theory and practice. The teaching was very good and professional. Overall, a very enjoyable course.

"A real gem"

This has to be my favourite training course that I've done and I didn't want it to end. Debbie was such an engaging teacher. She had a fantastic ability to explain and demonstrate all the concepts and it never felt like you were asking stupid questions. At the end of the course, I came out with a set of photos that I would never have imagined I could capture.

"Fantastic photography courses from beginners to specialist areas."

I have just completed the Professional Photography course at the LIOP. I absolutely loved the course. It covers practical aspects of using the camera, some photographic history, documentary, portrait, fashion and still life photography as well as using essential digital software such as lightroom and photoshop.

The pace is fast and there is a great deal of content but you are guided through by a group of fantastic tutors, all experts in their field and passionate about photography.

I really feel the course has given me a strong base to found my photography practice on. I now have a good understanding of my camera, of how to set up the ideal exposure depending on the outcome I want to achieve, of studio lighting and of software to retouch and process my photographs.

The course is taught in way that enables you to choose between studying on Fridays, or weekends, as an intense continuous course, or there is a flexible option where you can mix the days and spread out the course over the year. This is the option I chose to fit around my work and family committments. I really appreciated this flexibility.

The London Institute of Photography is situated in lively Brick Lane, well positioned for the amazing locations used on the practical photography projects on the beginners, intermediate and documentary courses. It's easy to get to and there are a wealth of incredible food options at lunchtime!

"Best decision I’ve ever made! "

I started the Full PPC course at LIoP in March and finished it at the end of May 2024. Those two and half months were very intense: so many new things to learn, to practice and exchange with the students as well as the teachers! I loved it. I was scared to take the leap and spend almost three months in London to only do Photography but I’m not disappointed. It is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The teachers were great, and Holger was caring and insightful. The courses were all well explained and full of information.The plus: to be able to directly apply the theories/lessons we were having!
Now I feel way more confident in my Photography path and more comfortable taking on new projects (personal and professional ones) something I thought couldn’t be possible anymore. Excited about the future!

"Your sign for doing a course with LIoP"

If you are waiting for a sign to do any course with LIoP then this is it :)
I swear look no further! I have tried many different photography courses/workshops around London and LIoP gave me the knowledge satisfaction like no other! I genuinely felt so supported and gained so much insight. Even though, the course I took was only four days, with the lesson duration of two and a half hours, the amount of useful information and tips I received was immaculate!!! Holger is a fantastic teacher giving waterless topic insights and genuine information & advice ,which in my opinion is perfect if you want to grow in the photography field and get straight to the point!
In conclusion, I simply can not recommend this place enough! ENJOY:)

"Great experience!"

Really enjoyed the classes at LIOP!
I took the complete professional photography course (PPC) - a full immersion into the world of professional photography, covering all important disciplines and skills you need as a photographer.
The teachers at LIOP are very motivated - you can see that they are passionate about photography and the students profit a lot from their experiences. I've gained so many important insights into the photography workflow and business - including a lot of information that you cannot easily find on your own. I particularly liked the clear and logical structure of the classes. The mentoring sessions with Holger were extremely helpful in order to get valuable feedback and to find my own style.
All in all, a great experience that I can recommend to everyone interested in working professionally as a photographer or just wanting to bring his/her photos to the next level!
