Aparna Patade Faculty

I have always excelled in the arts. Painting and dance are my first loves but my fascination with beautiful images led to my interest in Photography.

I would study great photographs for hours on end observing light, color and composition and then finally I started clicking pictures myself. My professional training and experience with the subject of CG Lighting has given me a fresh perspective and a unique strength in understanding and using light to enhance my ability to capture images.

Now that I am getting a lot of appreciation for my work, I feel confident enough to call myself a Photographer!

Mitali VyasSpecialisation in Advanced Studio Photography, 2015

I have been a food photographer for quite sometime but I wanted to explore Fashion Photography.

I came across a lot of schools but what set FX School apart from the rest was how well the institute has been carved for artists. I was looking out for an intensive study on lighting and I was quite impressed by the way the curriculum had been structured for us. The provision of an excellent faculty, first hand practical experience and state-of-the art facilities gave me the perfect environment to learn and grow. I am well pleased with the experience and knowledge that was imparted through FX School. It is truly not just an institute but a school.

Avi Paliwal Student, Diploma Course in Photography

FX School is an important part of my life. It taught me where to look, what to see, when to click and how to click it. The faculty are like family. They had a solution to every one of my problems and you'd be amazed at how even if you were asking them the very same question for the hundredth time they would break it down for you in the most simple words. They not only make you industry-ready but also keep you informed about the job openings in the field, and are always excited to hear about your new projects.

The labs and the studio possess every possible equipment that anyone can ever wish to learn about, from long lost cameras and lenses to the latest tech in the field, you name it they have it.

FX School has an ambiance that gets you awestruck as soon as you enter it, and over the period of one whole year it still makes me as excited and as fascinated about photography as I was on day one.

It was fun learning Photography at FX School, and being surrounded by creative people and doing studio and outdoor shoots. What I liked most was that the course is designed to take out the creative side of you rather than only teaching the functions of a DSLR. We were constantly encouraged to explore with composition, colors & lighting. I’m really glad to have had the experience of being at FX School.
