“When I joined I thought the course would be all technical but to my surprise it contained lot about the history of photography and other aspects that were completely new to me. I learned to appreciate work of other photographers as I studied them more. I loved the fact that I could study from anywhere so while I was traveling I could keep on studying as long as I had internet connection.”
