Learn to tell the truth through images. This online course is designed for aspiring and early-career photographers who want to document the world with purpose, accuracy, and heart. Whether you're just beginning or returning to photography with a fresh perspective, this course will guide you through the essential skills and ethics of modern visual journalism.

The program is divided into six comprehensive modules, each focusing on a key area of photojournalism. Every module contains:

• Audio lessons — clear, engaging guidance you can listen to anywhere
• Three dedicated books: Course Overview, Personal Journal, and Field Tools
• Quizzes to test your knowledge
• Printable checklists and field templates for real-world assignments
• Practical examples and case studies to inspire your own work

We do not teach camera settings or basic composition — instead, we focus on practical, real-world skills, workflows, and decision-making used by working photojournalists. The materials are designed to help you act confidently in the field, approach subjects ethically, and build strong, story-driven portfolios.

The course concludes with a final exam, and upon successful completion, you’ll receive an official certificate recognizing your achievement.

Inside the course, you'll find:

• A clear breakdown of each module and what you'll learn
• Downloadable guides, field tools, and learning materials
• Space to track your progress and reflect on your development
• Final exam and certification details

Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to create compelling, story-driven images — while maintaining responsibility, integrity, and respect for your subjects and audience. This is more than a photography course. It’s your first step toward becoming a visual storyteller in today’s media landscape.

Note: The first three modules are available to all members as an introduction to photojournalism. To continue your learning journey and unlock the full course, please upgrade to an Academy Pass Membership.
