Yes! We think you’ll be amazed at what you’re about to learn in such short classes.

It’s for you! If you’re a complete beginner to photography and want to learn quickly and become better without having to watch hours of video or wade through dozens of pages!

iPhotography has been delivering online courses for over a decade to over 110,000 beginner and amateur photographers.
During this time, we’ve come to realise that there are a lot of people who love photography but don’t have the time in their busy lives to commit to extensive photography training courses.
And while there’s plenty of free photography classes online (YouTube, etc) – a lot of it is disjointed, incomplete and unhelpful to the beginner who doesn’t have $10,000 worth of kit and isn’t looking to become the next Ansel Adams or Anne Geddes!
We believe the 60-Second Photographer is the best free photography course because it breaks down the key principles of photography into bite-sized chunks that are super simple to understand and apply immediately.
Start with whatever camera you currently own.
Becoming a better photographer is ALL about having the right knowledge and then knowing how and when to apply it. It is definitely NOT about having better kit!
If you don’t own a standalone camera, then use your smartphone. The principles you will learn will improve your shots regardless.
But, if you’ve got a Bridge, Mirrorless or DSLR camera then this free online photography course will help you to understand it better.
