Portrait Photography Course in Napier

Portrait Photography Course is one of seven courses New Zealand Photography School delivers entirely online, so students in Napier can study it without leaving Hawke's Bay. Learn to direct, light and edit portraits people love.

The Art Deco precinct around Tennyson and Emerson Streets is the obvious draw — pastel façades, geometric detailing and period signage give you a genuinely unique architectural and street photography subject you won't find replicated elsewhere in New Zealand. That makes Napier a genuinely useful base for practising the photography skills this course covers, between live tutor sessions.

This is a beginner-level course, delivered online with tutor feedback on your own submitted work — so you can complete it from Napier on your own schedule, with no travel required.
