I cannot recommend enough the LIoP!
I took the whole professional course and it has been an amazing experience!. I have learnt many new skills on different aspects of photography and now I definitely feel more confident to try to make it as a photographer.
Holger and the teacher's team are fantastic, very knowledgeable and engaging and always very helpful.
One of the best features of the professional course is also the mentoring sessions with Holger that helps you develop a personal project and as a photographer

This course has transformed my photography! My photography skills have improved incredibly and I feel really confident to start offering professional service. All the teachers are extremely talented, friendly and helpful; making each and every module engaging and fun.
I would recommend the Professional Photography Course to anyone who wants to get their foot into the photography world. You will be surprised at how easy they make it to grasp the technical skills and how to make a career out of it. Highly recommend!

Fabulous teacher, great set up and hands on learning! I'm adding the Intermediate course on as I enjoyed the Beginners Course immensely.

LIoP course is complete and very easy to understand. I had the pleasure to have Joana as a teacher: she is funny and explained even complex concept in an easy way, showing real work examples and great photographer technique in addition to interesting movie and documentaries about photography. Furthermore, following the theory in class, there is the practice outside, in the very picturesque Brick Lane. I attended the Beginner course, and I am now more confident in using my camera. I already booked the Intermediate course :)

The Professional Photography Course at the London Institute of Photography has been an outstanding experience for me and has definitely exceeded my expectations. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or an experienced photographer, Holger and his team are aiming to take your work to the next level.
The LIoP has not only taught me how to take good photographs, it has also inspired me in so many ways and given me the confidence to
start a career in Photography. Thank you!

I recently completed the 1 day per week Professional Photography Course (PPC) which is made up of 10 modules of 2-4 weeks each. The course is very commercially focussed, with the goal of fast tracking students into a working environment. The modules were all really well programmed so that lessons learnt could be used in the subsequent classes. Stand out modules for me were the fashion, still life and careers modules along with the personal mentoring sessions. Being one day per week was great as it not only allowed me to continue to work my normal full time job but it slowed it down to give time to reflect and prepare between classes. Holger is a fantastic teacher and for some of the more specialist modules we had great support from the other tutors who are all also professional photographers. An added bonus of this course is aside from the course fees (and bringing your camera) there was no additional unseen costs at all – including walking away with a great looking printed portfolio. I’d recommend this course for anyone as even though our group was all varied in ability, goals and style we all made good progress and complimented each other in our own strengths and weaknesses. I was sad when it ended!

LIoP was the perfect learning and insight I needed to continue on my photography journey. Well worth the investment.

The best course ever.

Not many photographers share the true secrets of the industry.

Through Holger and his team you will leave satisfied and filled with new knowledge.

Thank you for everything 🙂.

I chose to do that complete foundation photography course to learn to use my mirrorless camera in manual mode effectively. The course was engaging, well-taught and concise and LIoP have given me a great foundation knowledge to build on. I've come away highly motivated to build a portfolio and can't recommend the course enough.

Rob is an excellent teacher – extremely knowledgeable, clear and patient. Instructions succinct and ample opportunity to ask questions in the session. Robs experience as a photographer adds immensely to his teaching style. Relaxed atmosphere. From a complete novice I now feel confident in creating collections and editing and good understanding of all elements of Lightroom Classic.

The courses at LIoP are limited to 8 people and are intimate and friendly .They are a fantastic introduction to professional photography as well as ideal for the enthusiastic amateur. Days tend to be divided into a morning of theory and an afternoon of practical.
The tutors are superb and the studio at the Brick Lane fully equiped. I have done the portrait and fashion modules so far- the highlight of the latter was when we spent the last day at a professional photography studio with a model,makeup artist and costume designer.
I can honestly say LIoP run the best photography courses in London.

I took the one week Fashion Studio Photography Course with LIoP in October 2019. It was brilliant from start to finish. Thorough classroom style lessons; starting with theory and then putting into practice around a dozen different lighting techniques using a multitude of flash heads and modifiers.

As a small group of seven we were taught to achieve different aesthetics from classic Rembrandt lighting through to shooting with colored gels to create a more stylized look. Eliška and Holger are excellent at what they do, highly knowledgable, creative and open to helping their students as much as they can. The same can be said of the make up artist and stylist we had for the later part of this course.

The final day's shoot was fantastic with two professional agency signed models shared between two smaller groups in our instance. Each student was allotted a generous amount of time to work with the model, MUA and stylist to shoot their own portfolio set from their own ideas and inspirations. With the help of fellow students as assistants this hands on learning aspect was incredibly helpful to cement the skills learnt in the classroom and of course Eliška or Holger were on hand throughout to help perfect the lighting and posing of the model.

All in all I came away with a new understanding of studio lighting and the confidence to organize and shoot my own Fashion set's in the future. Ten out of ten would recommend. If your on the fence for any reason I would say take the leap, you won't be disappointed. I can honestly say I learnt more technical lighting skills here than during my entire degree.

I did the fashion course and I learned a lot, not only during class hours but when we were in the studio as well. Eliska was very good when it came to explaining and going more in depth when it came to the practice portion of the class time.

I really enjoyed this course. Even though I know a reasonable amount about Twitter and Instagram and have good followings on both, it taught me how to use Light Room on my phone and this about how I present my posts and tweets to engage with followers and friends. Cat is an excellent teacher with plenty of experience and a friendly disposition. I would highly recommend her courses..

I really enjoyed my year at Liop because it was for me a complete experience as much human as professional. I met teachers who helped me to go beyond my own limits and to believe in my vision. I miss my words to describe how I feel so much emotion is huge. Friends and family around me can see that something happened to me, yes I think : I was born again. I’m very grateful and I will really never forget this journey.

Recently I`ve taken the intermediate photography course with LIOP after following the beginner course last year with them.
I really enjoyed both courses.Teachers are very helpful ready to answer all your questions!

I recently took the website design course having struggled to do a website myself. The course answered a lot questions I had, and dealt with a lot of the problems I had encountered. Finally I have the tools to get my website up and running. Lovely location/easy to get and great facilities. The tutor was very hands on and happy to help with all queries. Thank you very much.

After taking the two-day Beginners course at the London Institute of Photography I now feel confident enough to move from "Auto" to "M" and take control of my DSLR!
It was areally well-structured course with a great instructor who took the time to answer all my questions.

Hi, I had ten-weeks photography session at LIOP.
It was a really wonderful experience.
I enjoyed the idea each student would have the possibility to put his/her idea in a practical result in each week.
The teachers are very helpful and professional.
