Get to know your camera
The buttons, the dials, the modes. Stop guessing which one to press.
Thirty lessons. About one minute each. Yours forever — the fastest way into photography.
Stephen, in a minute. The same voice you’ll hear in every lesson.
Modest by design — the free course is the doorway, not the whole house.
The buttons, the dials, the modes. Stop guessing which one to press.
Aperture, shutter speed, ISO — what each one does and why they matter.
Even after thirty minutes, the photos you take should look better than they do today.
You’ll know if photography’s worth pursuing properly — and what your next step looks like if it is.
No drip-feed, no waiting. You get the whole course as soon as you sign up.
All thirty lessons add up to about thirty minutes of teaching — yours forever.
Stephen Walton is iPhotography’s Head Tutor. A professional photographer since 2005 and teaching since 2017, he’s personally trained around 30,000 people through iPhotography’s courses.
He’s the voice you’ll hear in every one of these thirty lessons — the same tutor who teaches the paid courses. The free course isn’t a different brand, a different teacher, or a different standard. It’s the doorway to the same club.

Have confidence in what you create. iPhotography gives you that confidence.

Thanks for all your help. I now feel like I can move away from auto and be less scared to use manual.

The courses made me join and learn. The gallery helped me improve. The FB group improved my confidence. The Critiques honed my skills.

Most members who finish the free course want a deeper version. We made one.
If your question isn’t here, drop us a note and a real person will reply.
Yes — the 60 Second Photographer is properly free. No card, no trial period, no surprise charge. Email only. We’d rather you got real value first and then decided if you want to come deeper into the club.
There isn’t one. We give you the free course because it’s the easiest way to show you how we teach. If you like it, you might join one of our paid courses or PLUS+. If you don’t, you keep the free course either way and we don’t bother you.
We’ll send you the occasional email with photography tips, member features, and (when relevant) a friendly heads-up about a paid course or workshop. You can unsubscribe any time. The free lessons are yours forever.
No. Compact, bridge, DSLR, mirrorless — anything where you can change a few settings will do. We teach the photographer, not the camera.
About thirty minutes if you watch the lessons end-to-end. Most members watch a few at a time over a week or two and put each one into practice in between.
No. You’ll get a welcome email, the lessons, and the occasional photography update. One-click unsubscribe at the bottom of every email. We’ve been at this since 2012 — we know how to behave.
Same offer, scrolled to the bottom. Free, forever. No card. Email only.
First lesson lands in under a minute.
