About the Instructor

Christof Arnold Photography is a specialized training platform run by photographer and author Christof Arnold, creator of the photography book Stilvoll Fotografieren.

Study Programs

Christof Arnold Photography offers a targeted portfolio of non-degree online courses, instructional media, and coaching programs centered on practical digital photography, camera operation, lighting, and digital image editing. The provider does not grant academic degrees such as bachelor or master degrees, nor formal vocational certificates. Instead, the curriculum focuses on applied creative skill development for beginners, advanced hobbyists, and individuals seeking to monetize their photography. All learning programs are delivered entirely online through video lessons, downloadable materials, and digital platforms, allowing students to study remotely at their own pace. For entry-level photographers and those seeking a structured foundation, the provider offers the Fotografie Grundkurs. This seven-week online foundational course teaches learners how to master camera settings and move away from automatic mode. The curriculum covers shutter speed, aperture, ISO, depth of field, focal lengths, autofocus modes, and exposure compensation. In addition to technical camera handling, the program explores visual storytelling, image composition, natural light observation, on-camera flash setups for indoor and outdoor portraiture, posing individuals, and post-processing workflows using Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop. For advanced photographers, the provider features the Rockstar Onlinekurs, an in-depth training program that was originally conducted as an exclusive twelve-week live coaching program and is now offered as an independent online course. Priced at 1,289 euros, the course consists of 68 practical lessons with more than 18 hours of video instruction, accessible on demand through a web browser or a dedicated mobile application. It is aimed at individuals who already shoot in manual mode and want to refine portrait photography, complex lighting setups using studio flashes and softboxes, landscape photography with flash, detailed Photoshop retouching, artistic style development, and commercial strategies to sell photographic services to clients. In addition to the comprehensive foundational and advanced tracks, the portfolio includes targeted short courses and supplementary resources. Der Schärfe Kurs, also titled Immer knackscharfe Bilder, is a focused video program consisting of 13 short lessons, a 36-page accompanying study guide, and a reference cheat sheet for 69 euros. It systematically addresses camera shake, subject movement, and autofocus precision to help photographers reliably eliminate blur. Christof Arnold Photography also hosts the Foto Club community, has announced an upcoming orientation tool named Der Foto Kompass, and publishes the photography handbook Stilvoll Fotografieren with accompanying e-book and audiobook editions.
