In operation since 1998, the Institute serves the needs
of people who are or who want to become professional photographers.
The Institute’s tutors are professional freelance photographers,
who bring their on-the-job experience to the course. You'll
get advice directly from active practitioners - not armchair
theorists.
The Institute is wholly financed by its members, from its
courses and subscriptions, from lectures and published material.
It serves to bring together all kinds of photographers, both
novices and long-standing experts.
We're accredited by the Open and Distance Learning Quality
Council. You can find them at www.odlqc.org.uk. We're listed under Learning
Institute, our parent organization.
Our Goal
We promote the practice of freelance photography, and the
role of the photographer.
