Here's what some of our graduates have to say about NYI's Complete Course in Professional Photography.

Forrest K., 2009 Graduate from Illinois:

"Being involved in education for 34 years prior to retirement, this course ranks right up there with the best I have taken at colleges and universities. This is an excellent course and I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in photography."

Sara R. 2009 Graduate from Ohio:

"I got a part-time job as a photographer/assistant and will soon become a full-time photographer with a studio. Your course has let me take an interest/hobby and turn it into a career. I would recommend your course to anyone who has an interest in photography as an amateur, or who wants to make money with their career."

Jason R. 2009 Graduate from Idaho:

"I have been very excited to participate in NYI's Course in Professional Photography. I had been studying photography on my own for a couple of years and thought I was doing pretty well. But after enrolling in NYI, I soon realized I had a long way to go.

The technical aspects of the course are outstanding and easy to understand. I was even more impressed and intrigued by the psychological aspects of photography that NYI presented. I had never heard anyone mention that important element before. I also have a great appreciation for NYI's encouragement to seek your own creativity in each lesson, not just being told to follow the rules given. Initially, I was apprehensive about having the creativity taught out of me. From the very first lesson, "Eye of the Photographer," I was reassured that wasn't going to happen."

Alex B. 2007 NYI Graduate from Texas:

"Allow me to congratulate you on an excellent course. I especially like the way it is put together and the way it is conducted. The presentation of the course material, the books, the tapes, and the DVDs are all a superb way of presenting the course. This is the best distance learning experience I have ever had.

From the content point of view, I found the most value in everything related to lighting, from the basic strobe to the light tent. No less valuable is everything related to portraiture - all of it is relevant and beautifully presented."

Micah M. 2007 NYI Graduate fom California:

"I thought NYI was great. I really wasn't sure what an f-stop was when I started. From Lesson One I was pleased. I don't see anything you could change. My instructor was amazing, the books are great. I will and have recommended NYI. Thank you. I love NYI."
