Dedicated to Exposing the Photographer inside you

Photography is a subject that requires less theory and more practice. Baring aside exceptions, every person who takes up photography has to undergo a continuous learning process to develop skills and gain the experience to shoot great pictures. Also self learning constitutes mostly of trails and errors and experimentations. It is time consuming, often confusing and in certain cases disheartening to the point of promising people giving up their passion, even before starting their journey.

IIP knows this well enough. This is why IIP draws its faculty from experienced photographers who have faced the ups and downs of photography and gained valuable knowledge over a span of years - giving them in-depth understanding of not only the subject but the human mind as well. IIP faculty members also understand well enough that no two students learn in the same way or pace. This insight lets the faculty guide students in a step by step manner, answering doubts and queries at every crossroad.

Adhering to the institute's vision, the faculty works with utmost dedication to expose the photographer in each and every student. Since photography is not an ordinary subject and does not follow the usual classroom rules, IIP mentors start the teaching process by befriending each student so as to help them better. As students you will find the IIP faculty friendly, open and always helpful

"A great mentor is a lifelong friend who guides and helps at every stage"
