This photography course is NOT going to teach you how to use your camera. You should already know what things like aperture, shutter speed and ISO are. You should know how to compose & expose your photo properly. You should also know how to do basic photo editing. The application doesn't matter (Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Affinity Photo, your favorite smartphone editing app).
This photography course WILL teach you practical and easy steps to improving your photography. We start with photography lighting, then photography composition, then storytelling, and end on photo editing. In each section we showcase dozens of practical and easy-to-replicate ways to take better photos.

Phil Ebiner
I’m Phil Ebiner, an educator, photographer, filmmaker, and founder of Video School and Photography & Friends. Through my online courses and creative community, I’ve helped millions of students around the world learn practical skills in photography, video production, design, and more. My goal is to make creative skills feel accessible, useful, and encouraging, whether you’re picking up a camera for the first time or looking to take your work to the next level.
My teaching style is clear, supportive, and hands-on. I break complex topics into simple steps, explain the “why” behind each technique, and share real-world examples you can immediately apply. As a photographer and filmmaker, I believe great creative work is not just about gear or settings, but about storytelling, intention, observation, and connection. My goal is to help you feel confident, inspired, and capable of bringing your own creative ideas to life.

A great course that I’d also recommend from time to time as a refresher. Phil covers a lot of useful information in short video clips and gets straight to the point. I’ve already been applying some of the techniques subconsciously, whilst others have motivated me to put them into practice in future photo shoots. Personally, I was hoping for more unfamiliar, new material, but I’m still very happy with the course and will revisit it from time to time. Definitely worth recommending. Thanks, Phil! I hope to come across more of your content aimed at already advanced photographers.

Took the Intro to Photography as I was travelling around Australia several years ago. I was blown away by how easy it was to improve my photos but also to complete the course at my own pace, since I was out of range of any internet for long periods. Excited to see what I can improve further.

Great tips and tricks for taking photos, how to make them interesting, and briefly, how to edit/the importance of editing to improve a photo that was taken. Recommend to anyone who wants to become a professional photographer, or just your average person who wants to improve their photo taking skills!
By Russell Furman on 2/18/2023
Good course explaining the creative aspect of photography. It was very helpful to take this course after the more technical ones explaining how to use the various features of digital cameras. These are tips that you can use with any sort of camera, including point and shoots and film. Recommended for anyone who wants to take photos worthy of a family album.

Buen curso, son conceptos que ayudan a ampliar tus conocimientos fotográficos, ayudan a tener un panorama más grande de lo que realmente se puede hacer con la fotografía. Me gustó la variedad de ejemplos, pero más que poner sólo fotografías me habría gustado una explicación más práctica de las diferentes técnicas.

This is a great course, i really enjoyed it. I think i learned a lot, but then i just watched the videos, thought, yes that's great - and didn't really do a thing. So what might be a great addition is an assignment after every section to really try out what you've learned. Of course, i am a grown person, i could just do that, but i tend to be lazy, so assignments might just add a little more commitment or engagement.
By Martha Holzworth on 9/26/2022
This is just what I needed! Very practical exercises and ideas to take my photography to the next level and skills to work on. This course was not just theory but very practical. I mostly enjoyed reviewing pictures throughout the class with you and hearing your critiques and feedback. Thanks Phil!
By Alfonso Magdy Awadalla on 9/18/2022
Really good, there is nothing better than analysing photos of others to improve yours. Maybe the quality of the sound could have been better but that doesn't alter the quality of the content which was really helpful!
By VERONICA Verona Francardo on 9/1/2022
This was one the most inspiring photography courses I have ever taken, I am almost sad I already arrived to the end... It is very well structured, divided by topics (such as composition, framing, lighting and so on). Per each topic, Phil shows examples of photos of similar subjects but shot in different ways, and explains why one gives a "wow" effect and the other doesn´t. Many times looking at my photos I thought "Nice, but there is something I don´t like... and I don't know what it is". Thanks to this course, now I know how to improve. Thanks!!!

Phil Ebiner has an encyclopedic culture of the world of photography and gives it to all students in this course. In the course, Phil gathered myriad of practical examples of how to enhance the visual and emotional impact of a photo. They are not just theoretical discourses but a series of case studies in which each technique is widely discussed and described in detail. But it’s not just about technique, the course helps photographers train their own way of looking at people’s reality and lives to identify the beauty that hides in every present moment. Unmissable!
