But due to the fast-paced and intense nature of the program, even experienced photographers won't be bored!<br>Many of our students are on a break from work, whether a sabbatical, retirement, or pause between jobs. Others are looking for meaningful activity during a temporary residence in Switzerland or Germany. Students in our 1-year program typically wish to pursue a photography career. The shorter programs additionally attract serious hobbyists who want to deepen their photography expertise.<br><br><strong>Success stories: SPC Academy alumni<br></strong>We are so proud of our SPC Academy alumni, who leave us with the skills and confidence to follow their own creative visions wherever they lead.

Comprehensive photography training by Swiss Photo Club

Excellent training with friendly, approachable, patient AND professional instructor – The best part for me was getting to put into practice all the stuff we learned. On top of that, the instructor really helps you and keeps giving you tips on how to improve your technique. By the end of the beginner’s course you will not only feel a lot more confident in your technique but you will be left wanting to develop your skills even further! I would highly recommend learning photography with Swiss Photo Club!

“My photography improved immediately!”

<div>First time I heard about the photography competition by Swiss Photo Club, I was intrigued and challenged. I submitted my best photos and one of them was selected for big print. All my friends and family saw my art in print in the exhibition, then I was hooked! Now I challenge myself to create new photos before every competition. My photography has improved and I have several of my best photos in print. Thank you Swiss Photo Club for the organization.</div>

"I join every Photo Awards"

<div>Just participated to the Night Photography Workshop at Geneva with Altun. It is my third workshops and I have to say it is always very insightful and base on practice experience. Altun and other photographers are very kind to explain set up and share their experiences. I can only recommend if you want to start or become even better in photography!</div>

Great Practice Workshops

Highly recommend Swiss Photo Club. Just came back from another trip with them (Cappadocia-Istanbul), was an absolutely fabulous trip and photography experience. So rich adventure from the hot air balloons, the hikes, Turkish gastronomy discovery, Istanbul visits with the insights from local guides. Osan is a fantastic and inspiring teacher and the perfect travel buddy. Cannot wait to book my next trip!
