Course Reviews
Exposure is not just an institution where you can gather knowledge about photography, it is more than an institution, in short, it is a temple. I am grateful that by luck I have joined this temple, where I got a chance to discover a lot of new things about photography and also meet new passionate creators in this field. My only suggestion is that if you are a newbie willing to join this temple then just join it without any second thought because you never know until you experience it.
I’ve joined this institute to develop my photography skill set and to have someone who can guide me in this field. But, I’ve got more than just a guide. I’m so blessed to have such a person like Apratim sir in my life.
If you are serious about your career in the field of photography then you should definitely join Exposure – The School of Photography’s Diploma in Advanced Photography course.
I have enrolled myself in the Diploma course and I must say the diploma course has helped me learn a lot. Here, Apratim Sir and the faculty take care of each and every doubts. Apratim Sir is not only a great mentor but also a great person. This course is different from other photography courses available because during the course the focus is not only on learning but also on creating an amazing portfolio. It is worth more than what you are paying for.
