I recently completed a 6-month diploma course in fashion photography at MDPS Photography School, and it has been an incredible journey. We had 5 to 6 professional fashion shoots, all under the Dharmesh sir.
Personally, I learned invaluable lessons—from mastering photography to gaining life insights from Dharmesh sir.
If you’re looking for a place to start your photography journey from scratch, there’s no better option than MDPS. Thank you, MDPS, for an unforgettable experience! 🙌❤

I recently completed diploma in fashion photography course at this institute, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my experience. Dharames sir, the director, who is also the instructor, has an incredible depth of knowledge and a genuine passion for photography. He has a flexible class setup, which can transform into a studio which is a unique advantage. Institute also provides cameras and equipments for students without their own kits. What I like about MDPS is that the batch sizes are small and this ensures personalized attention. Other than that there are indoor & outdoor shoots included in the courses and they provide ample practical experience. I really enjoy Dharames sir’s teaching style he makes classes fun and interactive. Also his kind nature and attentiveness to each student’s queries makes the learning environment very supportive. Thank you Dharames sir and the MDPS team for this smooth learning experience. Highly recommend this institute for anyone serious about photography!
