Become a Photographer: How to Master Professional Photography 

Gustav Eriksen, instructor on our photography programme, recently spoke to an educational platform about the photography education offered at Nordic Online Academy.

Why choose an online photography course?

You can, of course, find countless photography tutorials on platforms like YouTube. But the quality of these videos is often inconsistent, and the learning may not be structured. Gustav explains:

 

“There are plenty of good videos out there, but you might need to watch 100 before you find the one that’s truly useful. Our photography course condenses years of experience and hard work into a structured learning path.”

In other words, with Nordic Online Academy’s photography programme, you can skip the endless search for high-quality tutorials. Our course offers a complete, well-organised curriculum designed to teach you everything you need to know to take professional-level photographs – with top-quality content throughout.

How do you become a professional photographer?

There are many ways to pursue a career in photography. As Gustav notes, to avoid wasted time and common mistakes, taking a structured online course can be a huge advantage. Our photography programme is on-demand, meaning you can progress through the material at your own pace – fitting learning around your life.

Through the course, you will gain all the essential skills needed to work professionally as a photographer. Whether you choose an intensive few weeks or a longer period with additional practical exercises, each module is designed to enhance your creativity and understanding of the craft.

You will learn the fundamental principles and guidelines of photography. Our course also equips you with the tools and knowledge to manage every stage of your photography workflow – from initial understanding and professional lighting techniques to post-production processes, which you can adapt to your own camera and style.
