An independent educational platform for photojournalists, offering online courses, practical learning materials, certification programs, and full guidance to help you enter and grow in the professional world of photojournalism — all in one place.
At Camerapixo Press Photojournalism Academy, we focus entirely on the real world of photojournalism. Our goal is simple: to help photographers build professional careers, gain essential skills, and confidently step into the field.
What makes our Academy unique is the way you learn.
Each course is carefully structured, breaking down complex topics into simple, easy-to-follow steps. In addition to audio lessons, you receive downloadable journals, assignments, exercises, checklists, and reference materials. These resources are practical and immediately useful — designed to support your learning both during the course and while working on real assignments. Camerapixo Press Photojournalism Academy is fully independent, non-political, and designed for photographers worldwide who want to turn their passion into a real photojournalism career.
Camerapixo Press Photojournalism Academy is not just about learning — it’s a complete system combining education, press credentials, publishing, and digital career tools.
We believe that learning should fit your life, not the other way around. That’s why all courses are fully online and available 24/7, allowing you to study whenever and wherever it’s most convenient for you.
Beyond the audio lessons, you’ll have access to practical downloadable materials: printable journals to track your progress, assignments to test your skills, real-world case studies, checklists, and reference guides to support your fieldwork. At the end of each course, you’ll complete a final exam and assignments to verify your skills. Upon successful completion, you will receive an official digital certificate — proof of your professional knowledge and readiness to work in photojournalism.
Our courses are designed to give you practical knowledge you can use in real-world photojournalism work, not just theory. Every lesson is focused on helping you build confidence and apply your skills directly in the field.
Alongside each audio lesson, you receive access to downloadable materials that support your learning at every step:
With these materials, you’re not only learning — you’re building tools and habits that you will carry into your daily work as a professional photojournalist.
Learning leads directly to professional recognition. Every course you complete includes a final exam and assignments designed to verify your understanding and practical skills. Upon successful completion, you will receive an official digital certificate of completion, which can be included in your professional portfolio, résumé, or accreditation applications. This certificate serves as proof of your knowledge, your dedication, and your readiness to work professionally in the field of photojournalism.
Beyond certification, Academy graduates may apply for the Camerapixo Press ID — an official press identification card created for freelance and independent photojournalists. The Press ID strengthens your professional credibility, supports access to events, media zones, and reporting locations, and serves as a trusted credential when working with event organizers, media outlets, or agencies worldwide.
Together, your certification and Press ID become key professional tools that open doors and help advance your career in photojournalism.
