Study Documentary Photography with NYI.

Photography skills are now a job requirement in a wide range of professions. Real estate professionals need high-quality architectural photos to post online. Insurance investigators need clear and accurate photos of damage caused by fires, floods, and burglaries. Police and fire departments need clear and reliable evidentiary photos that provide enough information to hold up in a court of law.

Most people own a camera, but far fewer really know how to use one. And, because most hobbyists primarily photograph family, and friends, far fewer people know how to take high-quality documentary photographs. To efficiently capture footprint on the floor, the detail of an antique tin ceiling, or dents on the body of a car requires a special type of photographic skill. And to acquire this skill you need training.

If you work in real estate, insurance, or uniform services, the New York Institute of Photography's Documentary Photography Course can give you an important professional skill that will increase your earning potential. This Course is appropriate for anyone who needs to learn how to take accurate, appealing-looking photographs. It doesn't matter if you have artistic talent, or prior experience in photography—we make it easy to take photographs that convey the information that needs to be included in an evidentiary photograph.

The Documentary Photography Course will allow you to work with an experienced professional photographer who will evaluate your photographs and speak to you personally on audio. And it will train you using colorful texts that focus on the material you really need—leaving out the complicated technical gobbledygook—and that make learning photography simple and fun.
