Best Photography College in India.

Placements: The college provides the space and support rather than placing you into an internship for you to find one of your own. By offering us this freedom, we are totally in control over where to work and the type of photography experience we might want to gain. Whether it be journalism, fashion or travel, we get to tailor our search rather than being provided a random placement. Being in charge of your internship also helps in improving skills essential for a photographer, like networking, self-branding and pitching oneself in the industry.

Infrastructure: The college has a total of 5 photography studios along with a dark room processing studio. The fashion photography studio is equipped with various backdrops and lighting suited for such. The product and food photography studio has different props that can be used for shoots. Moreover we have an automobile photography studio, a cinematography studio and a tabletop photography studio.

Faculty: The faculty members are well educated in their fields and have hands-on training in the courses that they teach. They are ready to guide in any difficulties that one might face in academics. Each course in every semester is well-planned and is provided with ample equipment and resources needed to complete it. The college also brings in various guest faculty members who are at the top of their respective fields. They also take us on well-executed field visits that further help in our photographic journey.
