The New York Institute of Photography is the world's largest and oldest photography school. Founded in 1910, NYIP has been successfully graduating photographers all over the world for over 100 years. Our affordable home-study courses allow students anywhere to learn the photography skills that they need from New York City's professional photographers.

Each of our distance education courses includes:

  • Comprehensive and up-to-date lessons
  • Audio commentary on CD
  • DVD video training
  • Access to a personal student advisor, a professional photographer there to answer all of your questions as you move through the course
  • Photo projects that are evaluated by your instructor, a professional photographer who shows you how you can make your photos better
  • NYIP’s Graduation Certificate – yours when you complete the course to display in your home, studio, or office

We offer the most personalized distance education possible. In fact, many students tell us that simply having access to NYIP's teachers and student advisors was worth more than the entire cost of the course. Our team is as close as your telephone or e-mail inbox, and you can contact them as often as you wish. Want to learn more about NYIP's International Students?
