Practical Training with Professional Photographers
Photography cannot be learned through theory alone.
At LIK Academy, practical work is an essential part of the program. Students work on photographic assignments, experiment with different genres and techniques, analyse their images and receive professional feedback.
This combination of photography, photo editing and creative development helps students build a coherent body of work throughout the course.
From Camera to Final Image
Contemporary photographers need to understand the complete photographic workflow.
That is why the Photo Expert Diploma combines photography with digital image development and editing.
Students learn how to select, organise and develop their photographs and how to use tools such as Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop as part of a professional creative workflow.
The result is a comprehensive approach: from the original idea and the camera to the finished photograph.
Who is the Photo Expert Diploma for?
The program is suitable for ambitious beginners as well as photographers who already have some experience and want to take their work to a more professional level.
It is particularly interesting for:
international students living in Vienna
expats looking for photography education in English
photographers who want structured professional training
creatives who want to improve their visual communication skills
content creators who want stronger photography and editing skills
students outside Austria who want to participate Online Live
Build Your Photographic Portfolio
Over two semesters, students have the opportunity to create new work across different photographic genres and progressively develop their own visual identity.
The goal is a portfolio that demonstrates not only technical ability but also creative thinking, visual consistency and an individual photographic approach.
