NYIP Short Course: Fundamentals
of Digital Photography
The number of people investing in high performance digital cameras these days is rising fast.
Prices of these cameras are going down, and the power of digital photography is going up thanks
to the internet. But the latest and greatest camera isn’t enough to take great photos, which is why
we offer the Fundamentals of Digital Photography, a photography course for beginners.
The Fundamentals Course is shorter than our other courses, and covers the photography basics
— aperture, shutter speed, exposure, composition, and much more. You'll receive a series of
beautiful, full-color lessons that make these topics easy to understand. The Course sticks to the
information you really need to know to take spectacular photographs, rather than getting bogged
down with technical language. We promise that you'll even learn how to read and use your
digital camera's histogram!
Who enrolls in the Fundamentals of Digital Photography Course?
Anyone and everyone with an interest in taking better photos! Students in this course include
parents and grandparents looking to take photos of family, travelers looking to take better photos
of vacations, pet owners looking to take cuter photos of their pets, and anyone who just bought a
new camera and wants to get the most out of it.

Students love the NYIP Fundamentals of Digital Photography Course. But don’t
take our word for it; look at what some recent NYIP graduates have to say:
Joanne L., 2010 Graduate from New Jersey:
"This course provided me with the basic skills to successfully operate a digital SLR. Since taking
the Fundamentals Course, I have developed a better eye for photography and art in general.
Thank you for your constructive feedback and excellent instruction."
Susanna G., 2011 Graduate from Victoria, B.C., Canada
"I have really enjoyed this Course. It was practical and easy to finish. I could look at the material
and use the information right away so that I felt it was of immediate benefit to my picture taking.
It also helped me in my classroom to bring digital photography alive to my students."
John B., 2010 Graduate from Rhode Island:
"I enjoyed taking the FDP Course and the knowledge gained from it has helped me move
forward in pursuing a career in digital photography. My instructor was very helpful and in fact,
took the time to answer all my questions in detail."
John D., 2011 Graduate from California:
"This was a great course. I must admit that I looked on the Internet and various trade magazines
but I couldn't find a photo course that I could really afford that was for real. Then I got the
announcement in the mail about this new course you were offering.
This course had everything that I expected and more. I really appreciated the explanation of the
digital SLR. I went from using auto mode 90% of the time to full manual mode 90% of the time.
The chapters on composition and lighting were my favorite. When I started looking at my
subjects from these points of view I found my photographs improved immeasurably. I also
appreciated the comments from the person who did my critiques on my submissions. They were
very constructive and I am trying to put them to use all of the time.
The textbooks were easy to read and presented the information in a way that was understandable.
I think the CD presentations were great. The conversational tone of the instructors who are very
knowledgeable made me feel like I was right there in the classroom."
