Quality Photography Classes in Manhattan:

PhotoManhattan's curriculums have been tested and improved over the years to provide solid and dynamic training to thousands of students of all levels. Whether you just want to learn how to use your camera in full manual mode, take an outdoor photography class in New York city, or master the techniques of Studio and Lighting, PhotoManhattan could be the place for you!

Basic Beginner to Advanced Level Photography Courses:
Instruction in basic topics emphasises critical technique and control of the camera. You can worry about philosophizing on whether a picture reflects "beauty" or not another time. First things first.

For those more advanced students, PhotoManhattan has challenging courses that will make even experienced amateurs stop and think about exactly what they are trying to do when they hit the shutter. PhotoManhattan offers small class sizes to provide our students with a more personal learning environment. Courses include:

- Introduction to Photography
- Photography In Automatic Mode
- Photo Orientation
- Photography II
- Photo Documentary
- Photoshop I
- Photoshop II
- Portraiture
- Portable Flash
- Studio & Lighting

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):


- Are your classes only for digital cameras?
For most of PhotoManhattan's photography classes, both film and digital camera users are welcome! However, for Photography in Automatic Mode all students must have a digital camera. 

- What type of camera do I have to have for a course?
PhotoManhattan strongly recommends, although it is not required, that all students have an SLR (Single Lens Reflex) or a DSLR camera, with a Manual Function/Mode. If you have a Point-&-Shoot digital model, please make sure you have a Manual Function/Mode to which you can control your aperture, shutter speed and ISO/ASA.
