COURSE REVIEWS
Sanne from Holland
"Joining Munish's photography course was one of the better decisions I have
taken during my trip in India. The course is developed in such a way that both
people who want to take photography as a hobby (like me) and people who want to
take photography as a profession can join. As I couldn't afford to stay in delhi
very long, the course was adjusted to my personal schedule. that was great ,
because that gave me a lot of freedom ! I think that was very good, as I think
that a hobby shouldn't become an obligation!
I took a month long every day classes from dawn till dusk.
Although my interest is more in outdoor photography, all enthusiasm around me
made me enjoy the studio- part more than I expected !
As I use photography more when traveling around, my
personal focus is not on studio lighting and so on. But in the course,
especially in the practical sessions, I liked it a lot and you can use all of
this knowledge outdoors also.
The course covers a lot of subjects, which makes it
attractive for anyone who is a little interested in photography. Besides the
informative part of the study the atmosphere in the school was very relaxed.
There was always space for conversations and questions, there was always time
for a laugh!
I likes that very much, such a personal approach. Too bad
that it's over now for me, but atleast I will take all the knowledge I gathered
during the course with me to Holland, as well as very good memories !"

"When I decided to start my six
month trip in India with a photography course in south Delhi with Munish, above
all in only one month! But the course is really complete. treating about each
specific part of photography with a lot of examples and illustrations: sometimes
it's going a little bit too fast (above all for beginners) but getting the CD of
the course at the end of it is a good way to go back and revise the unclear
points on which we might have been stucked. Anyways Munish is putting a lot of
efforts on giving the students his time to help them to fully understand the
course.
What I found the most interesting in this way to
learn how to shoot is that we are immediately plunged into prefessional
photography as Munish is teaching in his own working studio! That makes the
difference with a normal school of photography."

Sandra from France "Photography is like cooiking
you may have the good ingredients but if you don't have the recipe, it won't be
as perfect as you expect it.
By sharing his "sectret" formulas in photography, Munish
helped efficiently to achieve my expectations.

" Munish is a very educational teacher who is able to
tell you everything about photography in a calm, easy and educational way. His
theory lessons are well prepared and covers A-Z. And since he works in the field
he is able to give "real life" situations and the secrets of the job of a
photographer.

"I have learned a lot in a very short amount of time.
Munish is a good teacher and very good at explining. It was very good when we
mixed the day with practice in the studio and theory. To see Munish work in
reality in the studio and out was good The you can see how it works in real
life.
I am satisfied and i think I got a good education now it's
to practice....

"Munish Khanna has been an inspiration to me since I decided to join
his photography class on my trip to India. He broadened my interest in
photography after seeing his fashion and glamour shots, an area I never
worked before. I truly enjoyed the photography experience with Munish, an
experience I will never forget."

Hi,
I am Ashish a student of Munish Khanna Academy.
Initially when I was looking for an Institute to study Photography,
I have been guided to a lot of people and places. However the pattern I was more
compatible with, I could only find it at our Institute.
I won’t comment on the other Institute may be I was lacking what they were
looking for. I wanted a study center where my question can be answered related
to photography rather then saying “ Sit down – This is not the right time for
these Questions ”
Classifying students on the basis of their work and not on the basis of number
of pages with notes written on it.
I have started working commercially now and couldn’t visit the Institute often
however I still get the same amount of consideration in the Institute.
I will be more then happy to get reviews from my senior photographers in the
industry, hobbyist / passionate photographers, students who are/were studying as
how this place has been/is for you.
As I don’t want anymore Ashish to waste their time looking for a right Institute
Regards,
Ashish Kumar Shah

Hi everyone,
Check his works to understand the reason that i had to write in a testimonial
for Munish. He redefines technical brilliance.
As much i have come to know about Munish, i could render and can well confirm
that he is the man whom you could rely on personally besides professionally.
Also, few people are not aware of the fact that, he also undertakes a very
serious responsibility of sharing his knowledge with others. I have heard and
met a few people from the photography industry and NONE of them would let go or
share the precise knowledge or the small points that can make or break the
professional learning in a person. But with Munish its completely unlike that.
Even after, being in the ever growing photography industry post the digital
revolution, Munish would ensure that he shares the best of his learnings from
his own years of experience in photography.
Lastly, I wish Munish the very best personally & professionally.
Cheers Munish bhai."

Although in the 80's & 90's I cover the India & South Asia for Fortune 100 corp
in Computers & Communications segment. I have never ever met him.
By visiting his exhibit here, I am absolutely convince that he is a superb if
not excellence in imaging art. I also impressed with his kindness to share &
impact knowledge to his students.
You are a great artist & Guru!!
Thanks you.........."

Munish khanna academy provides right
kind of environment where like minded people meet and discuss various aspects of
photography and its upto you on how much you gain out of it. If you are looking
for self paced learning then this is the place to be. Its not a normal formal
coaching institute.

Munish's Academy is the best thing that
happened to me in the beginning of this year. Since then there has been no
looking back. This place not only gives you an in-depth knowledge of photography
but also provides you with an atmosphere similar to that of ur family. For me 55
Uday park is my second home now.
I have made a lot of friens in last 4 months and discovered a better side of me.
I am sure no other institute can provide you with better knowledge and hands on
experience at the same time. Everything about this place from course content,
method of teaching, atmosphere, Munish himself, fellow photographers to
assistants, is just perfect for learning.
There is a lot of competition that helps u improve and some really talented
photographers who always inspire you to take better shots. Everyone is very
supportive including Munish’s family. There is a lot to this place that one can
not describe in words. But I am sure if u become a part of it, u would realize
what am I trying to express here. No wonder y Munish has kept the course as a
life time learning opportunity for his students.
About Munish, he is a wonderful person, very easy to work with, down to earth,
and he never lets u feel how talented he is… and how amateur we r.. Its
difficult to put Munish’s personality under brackets, Witty, Funluvin, Frank,
Humility, Enthusiastic, Courageous, Earthiness, Kind, Versatile, Caring,
Understanding, very rarely does one come across such a package. He wins the
award for packing in the most energy and kindness per cubic inch of any human I
know.
This academy is for the students and from the students. The best part is, u
never loose on any thing even if u miss a few classes.... what u loose is time,
rest can be covered up as soon as u join back. @ d end of the day its ur own
efforts that makes u a better photographer. I have learnt a lot being a part of
this academy and hoping to make the most from my experience with Munish and his
academy even in the coming future. Academy has given me a new vision to my life
and I am glad to have come across some brilliant people and made friens with
them. I for sure will always be associated with Munish and the academy for many
many years to come. And hoping that Munish will give me equal opportunities to
become a finer photographer and make the academy proud @ the same time.

It is a great place to learn lot about
photography . No time constraints. It is at your convenience and desires and you
decide wheather you want to become great photographer or not. If you really want
to master the ART of PHOTOGRAPHY , then the palce is 55 -Uday Park New Delhi .

Axay has summed it up very well
indeed.....my feelings exactly....I would also like to share my wonderful
experience here..
I met Mr.Munish Khanna around 3 years ago after having worked in Mumbai as an
assistant director and production executive in the film and Television
industries for about 6 years before deciding to take up still photgraphy as a
full time profession....during the course of my research in finding out the best
possible way of getting up there, I was advised by quite a few successful pro's
in the business to get in touch with Mr.Khanna [some of them having been his
ex-students themselves], which i did,and enrolled myself as a student.....
To cut the story short ....I'm really glad that I trained under him and am now a
full time freelance commercial photgrapher.... He is truly my guru.
