iPhone Photo Academy by Emil Pakarklis: Is This Course Worth It? (My Review)

---

Welcome to my iPhone Photo Academy review! (One of iPhone Photography School’s bestseller courses)

Let’s be honest:

A lot of ‘regular’ people don’t carry their bulky DSLRs around and it’s likely that their camera just doesn’t leave the shelf on most days.

And this likely means you failed to capture a lot of great moments.

What’s the solution then? 

Well, the iPhone Photography School founder claims that you should use the camera that’s always in your pocket. Your iPhone is just a tool. What matters is how you use it.

Now, can you really take such outstanding photos that you’d be proud to publish on stock photography platforms and potentially make money off those?

Is it really possible?

What is iPhone Photo Academy?

So…

What is this iPhone Photography School course about?

iPhone Photo Academy by Emil Pakarklis is a comprehensive course to help you get the most out of your iPhone’s camera and photography in general.

(And it works for both total newbies and experienced DSLR photographers alike.)

Just to give you a quick idea, IPA offers you:

• A step-by-step course to help you start your journey from scratch (from holding your iPhone all the way up to more advanced topics)
• Useful lessons on how to use different iPhone models (old or new)
• Additional bonuses (will talk about them later)
• An active and helpful community inside the course and private FB group

Now…

Emil Pakarklis, the instructor, is a great guy to learn from.

Why? Because he has several years of experience of mobile photography and he’s done it with every iPhone model. So he definitely knows what he’s talking about.

Not only that but he has a calm, straightforward way of teaching no matter how complex the topic is.

This being said:

If you’re interested in stepping up your iPhone photo game, then you can’t go wrong with this course. Especially considering that it’s probably the best one on the market yet.

Who Is This Course For?

---

Without a doubt…

This course was created with the beginners in mind and it covers all the possible topics, no matter how trivial they may seem.

Specifically:

• the essential features of your smartphone camera
• the basic rules and principles of great photography
• tips and tricks for creative iPhone photos
• common mobile photography scenarios

But that’s not all.

This course works not only for newbies, but also long-time iPhone users who have some experience with photography, and even experienced “big camera” photographers.

Mark with Shotkit, a pro photographer, is one great example to mention.

He wrote the following on his website:

As you can see, even professional DSLR photographers benefit from the course!

Yes, the value of the product is THAT good.

And hey. If you’re an experienced photographer yourself and you’ll find that you know everything that Emil talks about, the you’ll have 30 days to get your money back.

(No questions asked.)

iPhone Photo Academy is a legitimate company and personally, I’ve experienced great customer service with the iPhone Photography School/Photography Pro team.

Inside iPhone Photo Academy

---

---

1. Training

All the videos inside are strictly photography-related. Some of the lessons talk about editing and photo management.

There are 6 main modules, as well as additional bonuses that you get when you invest in IPA.

(It won’t include topics like making money with iPhone photos though.)

Here’s what to expect once inside:

• Module 1: The Essentials of iPhone Camera (you’ll learn the very basics)
• Module 2: Additional iPhone Camera Features (something you’d probably never find out on your own)
• Module 3: The Principles of Great Photography (an important section, especially if you’re absolutely new in the photography world)
• Module 4: Creative iPhone Photography Techniques (if you want to “spice” it up)
• Module 5: iPhone Photography Genres (you’ll learn about different shooting styles, from landscapes to portraits to night photography)
• Module 6: Technical iPhone Photography (you’ll learn about the exposure line and a Camera+ dedicated camera app)

And that’s not all.

You’ll also get additional bonuses that include simple editing tips and techniques for perfect color and exposure, how to preserve the quality of your photos, and how to manage a huge photo library.

(I encourage you to watch my video above, I actually show you the inside of each module from my personal student account.)

2. Support

Whether you’re facing a technical issue, need feedback or have some other photography-related question, you will have the support from iPhone Photography School team and/or the students (including myself).

It’s a very active community!

And like I mentioned before, it’s a legit company with great customer service.

3. Price

For comparison purposes, if you were to join the competitor course, you’d have to pay the full price of $849.

Wow!!

(Does anyone even pay that much for a photo course?)

With the iPhone Photo Academy online course though, you’ll likely get it at a 80% discount price, or even at 90% discount price! Be sure to check my links for current sales available.

Which, as you can see, is a lot cheaper than its competitor course.

There are 2 payment options:

• 1 time payment of $99
• 3 instalments of $39 

The good thing is that you’re covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

What I Like About iPhone Photo Academy

---

Now…

At this point, I’d like to talk about the things I especially liked about these online tutorials product and what you might like, too.

First things first:

Emil recorded his videos that are 10-15 mins on average and he’s doing a great job explaining concepts in the simplest manner possible.

For beginners not familiar with photography this is especially a bonus. This way you won’t get overwhelmed by the amount of information on a particular topic.

Don’t get me wrong though, the lessons may be short but there’s a LOT of value in them.

Second of all:

In terms of the structure, I found it pretty easy to follow. And if you want to, you can still jump around the modules/lessons.

(For example, if a certain topic is too basic for you and you need to move to the next lesson.)

Not only that but Emil covers all the basics, even how to hold your iPhone the right way when shooting, and then moves up to advanced topics like exposure line, histogram and HDR.

Third of all:

You don’t have to have a fancy, expensive DSLR to enjoy photography. You don’t even need the newest iPhone model to join the course.

Nor do you need to have any experience in (smartphone) photography.

In fact, the less you know – the better!

Not to mention that IPA offers a lifetime access, has a supportive FB community, and offers different payment options to make it even more affordable for you.

How awesome is that?

What I Don’t Like About This Online Course

---

So:

Is there anything that I don’t like?

I’ll be honest, there aren’t too many downsides. The only 2 things that bothered me a little was in terms of the sales/landing page, not the course itself. What I mean by that?

You see…

The way iPhone Photography School team built their landing pages for their online courses put me off at first because it’s not something I am familiar with and the use of timers.

(In fact, some people might view it as a scam format landing page.)

Spoiler: I personally bought the course and can confirm that, indeed, iPhone Photo Academy is legitimate and once inside you’ll get a lot of value.

Another thing is creating a sense of urgency with the discount timers, but it’s understandable to have this as a marketing tactic.

And hey, while the price is usually $99, you can still catch even lower discounts, like having 90% OFF.

Other than that, I really have nothing bad to say about the course.

By the way, you can check out this post if you’re wondering about iPhone Photo Academy complaints.

Making a Living with Photography

---

Here’s the truth:

I had an unfortunate incident in my life, which resulted in a serious orthopaedic surgery, and there was a couple of years that I couldn’t walk at ALL. I was literally stuck in 4 walls, in pain and very close to going insane. 

But I started learning and found a way to share my interest in photography through words – and created a website.

(Since making money in its traditional sense was out of question.)

Whether it is photography or any other interest/niche you’re interested in, you, too, can make money online.

You can even crush it in the micro-niche of mobile photography, if you think outside the box.

How you may ask?

• Monetize your Instagram page, and/or,
• You can create a successful YouTube channel and/or,
• You can build an income-generating website in your niche.

If you master all, you’ll absolutely crush it in the online space!
