Hear from inspiring individuals who transformed their Photography hobbies into lucrative careers.
When I began this course 17 months ago, I was told by friends and those who saw my work that my photography was 'amazing'.
I never believed them fully and constantly doubted my skills. Something was missing. I signed up for the Diploma course to increase my ability, certainly, but also to build my confidence. Somewhere along the way, this has happened; I have started to believe in myself and have begun to create images of a consistently professional standard.
The advice I wish I'd had at the beginning would be to make sure you ask for help, not just your tutor, but also your fellow 'diplomees' and experts in your chosen field. Ask for feedback, take it on board and act on it. Oh, and start logging your SDS hours from the beginning so that you're not cramming them in at the end!
Thank you to my tutor and student support for fielding all of my questions!

love art and creativity, and this course has provided me with a well-planned steer toward becoming a better photographer. I would like to thank George for sharing his professional knowledge and the helpful support team for making this journey such a pleasant learning experience.
he course has a myriad of articles and engaging activities from understanding exposure, creative techniques for composing different types of photos, to interesting assignments that put what you learn into practice. Speaking from experience, things just get better each step of the way with the culmination of earning the certificate.
n top of that, assignment feedback provided by George has been both insightful (based on his personal experience) and encouraging. The thing I find that sets this course apart from the rest, is the personal mentorship along the way and the genuineness with which everyone at PI demonstrates.
hank you once again to the team at PI for a job well done and making this so worthwhile. I highly recommend this course to any keen photographer...

Before completing my course in Photography, I was not confident at all with the photos I took and certainly didn’t believe I could make money off taking photos.
Since completing this course I have established myself and I am getting a steady flow of work from kids & family portraiture, weddings, corporate events and selling fine art prints.
I have my own website which has generated plenty of work for me and has put me on the road to becoming a successful photographer.
I have George and the great support of the team to thank.
I absolutely recommend this course to EVERYONE…
