5 MONTHS · CAMERA CRAFT
Shoot and finish professional photographs
You bought the camera. It has been on auto for eleven months.
Proof in 30 seconds
120 hours of camera craft, lighting, composition and post-processing in Photoshop and Lightroom, ending in a portfolio. Phones have taken the casual end of photography; lit, composed product, event, portrait and architecture work is still commissioned.

Illustrations of the kind of work this course builds towards, not student work. Photographs of real MAAC Whitefield student projects will replace them as batches graduate.
Is this you?
Tap whichever of these already sounds like you — there's no right answer.
What you'll make
Grounded in this course's real modules and software — not a placement promise.
Month 1
Full manual control — exposure, aperture, shutter and ISO decided by you for a reason, in any light.
Month 3
Controlled lighting, natural and artificial, and composition you can repeat on request rather than stumble into.
Month 6
One month past the certificate: a finished, sequenced portfolio processed in Lightroom and retouched in Photoshop, in a consistent voice.
Month 12
Seven months past the certificate: a body of work in one or two genres, which is what a client looks at before booking a photographer.

Before you ask
The questions we hear most about this course, answered plainly.
MAAC Whitefield opens in October 2026 and does not yet have a placement record of its own — we won't pretend otherwise. What we offer is placement assistance once you graduate, not a guarantee, alongside a curriculum built around real, currently-hired roles.
Roles this course targets: Photographer, Photo Retoucher.
Brand-wide, MAAC India, brand-wide has trained 300,000+ students over 25 years — figures for the network, not a claim about this centre.
This course runs 5 months at 120 hours of CareerX training, offered in weekday, weekend, evening and fast-track batches so it can sit alongside school, college or a job — pick whichever mode fits your week.

AI has changed these tools, not removed the need for people who understand story, composition, timing and craft — this curriculum teaches those fundamentals alongside the current AI-assisted tools of the trade, so graduates direct the tools instead of being replaced by them.
Most of this catalogue is a software and production craft, not a drawing exam — modelling, compositing, editing, level design and design tools are all taught from first principles. Where a course does lean on drawing (character design, storyboarding), it starts from basic shapes and construction, not raw talent.
MAAC Whitefield operates under Aptech's accreditations and skill-council alignment, with a batch calendar, a published curriculum and a written fee quote a parent can review before enrolling — not a one-page sales pitch.
