Welcome to The Manchester Academy of Photography, a professional training centre in the vibrant heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter.

The Academy is the original photographic training school in Manchester, we put our continued success down to the fact we don’t just sell courses but teach Photography.

We provide introductory and advanced digital photography workshops; we also offer specialised courses in Travel, the Use of Light, Night Photography, and Documentary Photography.

Our photography courses have no more than 6 students per trainer, allowing plenty of time for some one to one tuition. All of our photographers are professionally trained teachers as well as being accomplished and passionate photographers.

Regardless of your ability – from a total beginner or a budding professional – The Manchester Academy of Photography has a course that will suit your needs.

Will I be out of my depth?

Certainly not! Whatever your level of photographic ability our approach is teaching practical skills in an enjoyable way rather than lecturing.

Please note: We don’t offer discount vouchers via third party organisations. We believe learning photography is fun and best learnt in small groups and not just about learning a few buttons on your camera. If you still can’t use your camera in manual and compose well balanced images after attending a discounted course, come and learn from a professional teacher.
