Which is the right course for me?

For Beginners and Returning Photographers

For those who have just picked up a camera and are interested in enrolling in a Basic Photography Course, we highly recommend the The Essential Photography Foundation if you are looking for a good solid foundation full course. Alternatively, if time and budget are a concern you can opt for Foundation Craft first which is Phase 1 of your photography journey to become a photographer. Or even shorter courses will be either The Mechanic’s Eye to learn the camera operation, or The Art of Framing focusing on the application of composition techniques.

For Intermediate to Advanced

If you have fully mastered have your camera controls – confidently handling the Exposure Triangle (ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed), reading the light meter with ease, and shooting with fully manual mode without hesitation – congratulation, you’re ready for Phase 2 – Intermediate Vision, here is where you will develop your visual palate for light quality and unleash your Mind’s Eye to make photo that comes alive. You can take it as a complete course, or choose to join just Painting with Light or Visual Storytelling chapters individually if time and budget are a concern.

For Specialty and Professional

If you are hardcore and looking for specialty course that will take storytelling to the next level, Documentary Photography is definitely designed for you. This intense and challenging Advanced Course will transform you from a photographer to a documentarian. And for those who want to be in full control of the situation, get technical and create your own lighting effects, we highly recommend one of these Photography Lighting Courses: Essential Lighting Course, Creative Flash Course, and Studio Lighting Workshop.

Testimonials

Over the years, through passion and commitment, we worked very hard and maintained our belief in photography education; treat everyone the same, teach everything we know. This belief of ours has proven by the testimonials from our students coming from all over the world. This is what drove us to be the best photography school in Singapore.

“I’ve had the pleasure of taking both foundations and advanced 1-on-1 courses with SOP. The sessions are structured in a manner that helps the student understand technical aspects discussed in an easy manner, the practical part and hands-on reinforces the theoretical concepts… Alan helps you see through the eyes of a photographer and think like a photographer… the way I approached my photography altered with more focus on the story behind the photo, a better understanding of how light works, and what makes a good photo… ”
