Videography is evolving as the most popular version of Cinematography in Media. A picture is a worth a thousand words, this holds true only when the picture taken is able to translate the message and that is what we aim to teach at the AKD Institute. With our Videography course, students start from the basics that are essential to get any picture right and then learn to further build on it.

Knowing that a career is not just creativity and passion or technical expertise but both put together, we train students to cultivate and grow on both dimensions. Our courses are tailored made in manner that they cover the basics that any photographer needs to know and only then divert into specializations.
