Getting Started

What are the principles behind Masters of Photography?

Masters of Photography aim is to help and inspire you to take better pictures through the teachings of the best photographers in the world.
The courses’ arc of learning is composed of 4 complementary and inter-locking key elements designed to acquire a deeper and more extensive knowledge of photography:

  • Watch: Inspirational pre-recorded courses divided in 35 bite-size lessons from the best in the field. In these videos our Masters provide years of knowledge, experience and expertise in their field.
  • Read: Downloadable and printable documents are provided summarizing each of the lessons to support the video course
  • Do: Some lessons are followed by an assignment from the master in the worksheet.
  • Get feedback: you can upload your assignment photographs on the website and then select and submit some or all of them for feedback from your fellow students on key elements of photography: Creativity, Composition, Technicality and Content

The website is also a live resource for all photographers, as we are adding Masters regularly to cover different aspects of photography.
