Rajesh Goyal, a man of many talents with a vision unmatched. More
than anything else, he is a man of Creative Arts and photography. With
humble beginnings, Rajesh started as a keen photographer. Talent and
hard work, earned him the title of a scholar in BFA and the number 1
position in the Punjab University 1991 batch. In his over two decades of
experience as a Specialist in Marketing & Communication and also as a
photographer, he worked with clients from almost all around the world

“Life feels enriched with myriad experiences but my passion for
photography has rewarded me with a new perspective to look at life and
the world. It is my mission to impart this knowledge to the upcoming
ardent photographers; they too need to look at life with a newer
perspective”
- Rajesh Goyal.
With this pledge, it was time to give back to the art and to the country
that fetched him worldwide accolades. Rajesh Goyal wasn't content with
being an artist among photographers. Instead, he made it his mission in
life to pass on this legacy to the coming generation; to make
photography the art of the masses. He believed that one need to
capture precious moments so that they do not slip away fromthem.

2. Photography is about love and appreciation; it makes families come
together and celebrate life. It is about embracing the beauty of nature. It
simply immortalizes life! And this is where the dream of imparting
world-class photography education on both regular and online modes
started taking shape.
In the absence of avenues to learn photography in a mainstream way,
Rajesh Goyal began with his regular and unique online courses under the
wing of indianinstituteofphotography.com. With an immensely talented
team, he set on the path to make photography accessible to the
common man. People from varied walks of life, of different strata,
irrespective of gender and age could now easily opt to learn
photography fromthe best.
With the exceptional blend of Creative, MARCOM and Entrepreneurial
skills of Rajesh Goyal, Indian Institute of Photography has broken
barriers. As a no.1 teaching portal for photography, it has successfully
completed 70 batches and is still counting. Spanning its network around
Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon and now all over India, it has not limited itself but
has reached over 31 countries internationally through its online courses.
The use of social media and the advent of Internet have also contributed
to this vision of photography in a big way. Innovation indeed has been
the most attractive move. Apart from regular courses, the online courses
have been accepted with startling success. With great pride it can be
said that the vision of Rajesh Goyal has paid off. Everyone can learn the
art of photography now sitting in the comfort of their homes, at their
convenient timings and can stay connected with the attentive faculty of
IIP any time.
“Come and fall in love with the camera; the world awaits you!”
There are indeed miles to go; IIP under the tutelage of Rajesh Goyal has
achieved a lot but continues to reinvent itself with the modern times
and strives to fulfill its passion- Photography. IIP can boast to be the one
and only endeavor in the nation that has united people with their hobby
and has revolutionized the concept of teaching photography through its
weekend courses. The herculean efforts of Rajesh Goyal and team
continue.
