31 short courses
Short courses are for one specific subject, watched in one sitting. Full-length courses are for properly learning a craft from the ground up — with assignments, tutor feedback, and a CPD certificate at the end. Pick whichever fits the way you want to learn.
For when you want to fix one specific thing — or scratch a curiosity itch — without signing up to a multi-week course.
For when you want to learn a genre properly — with assignments marked by an iPhotography tutor, a community to share work with, and a real qualification at the end.
Want a feel for what an iPhotography short course is actually like? Watch this one for free, right here, no signup. If it clicks, the full library has 31 more waiting for you.
A taste of the library — eight courses across the topics members start with most often. Each one is a single video under an hour, watched on demand. Browse all 31 in the full library when you're ready to pick one to enrol on.
All 31 short courses are built the same way. One topic, one sitting, in HD — with everything below baked in.
Pre-recorded, paused and rewound any time. Watch in one sitting or break across a couple of nights.
Real demonstrations, real settings on screen, real photographs walked through. No talking-head slideshow.
For as long as your iPhotography account is active — come back any time, rewatch any time.
No subscription, no upsell after checkout. Pay once, keep the short course on your account.
Every short course is taught by a working photographer who shoots the topic for a living. Stephen Walton leads most of the library; iPhotography's landscape course instructor Chris Sale guests on the landscape-specific short course.
Pre-recorded. The original sessions ran live for our PLUS+ members — the public versions you see here are the polished, re-recorded versions, filmed in HD. There's no live class to attend, no time-zone juggling. Buy a short course, sign into your account, watch when it suits you.
Under an hour on average. Each one covers a single topic in one sitting — no multi-lesson modules, no homework, no tests. Designed for an evening on the sofa with a cup of tea.
Full courses (Photography for Beginners, Portrait, Landscape and the rest) are 18+ modules, taught one thing at a time, with tutor-assessed assignments, a Members' Photo Gallery and a CPD-certified certificate at the end. Short courses cover one specific topic in one go — no assignments, no certificate, no commitment.
Lots of members do both: pick a short course to scratch an itch, then come back for a full course when they want to learn a genre properly.
Three pricing tiers: £19, £29 and £49 depending on the depth of the short course. One-off payment, no subscription, no upsell after checkout. The price you see at checkout is everything.
For as long as your iPhotography account is kept active. No expiry, no time-limited "course window". Come back, rewatch, share what you learned — whenever.
PLUS+ members already have access to the original live recordings of these sessions inside their Members' Media Library — that's a perk of PLUS+. The public re-recorded short courses listed here are sold separately and are open to anyone, not just PLUS+ members.
No — the short courses stream from your account to protect copyright. All you need is an internet-connected device and a half-decent connection.
Photographers who want to fix one specific thing without signing up to a longer programme. Lots of buyers also use them as gifts — an evening's photography lesson under £50 is hard to beat.
31 short courses in the library, from £19. Browse the full list, pick the one that fixes the thing you've been stuck on, and watch it before bed.
