What Professionals Say
 “Not only has the Institute made the necessary investment to continually update their state-of-the art facilities, but they constantly review and keep their curriculum at the forefront of this exciting industry — as demonstrated by the quality of student they graduate.”

 “Whenever I hire a Hallmark graduate, I always get a first-rate professional, a man or woman that understands all that it takes to not only make a photograph, but more importantly to get the job done. Hallmark provides “real world” experience so the graduates can hit the ground running in whatever aspect of the business they choose.”

 “Unlike any other photographic school, Hallmark Institute has no investment in spreading out its program over four years (or more!). Hallmark’s unique “photo boot camp” approach gets its students up to speed in ten months by combining cutting edge photo equipment, state-of-the-art digital facilities, and motivated faculty who have first-hand experience with the real demands and expectations of the working world.”

 “The Hallmark Institute of Photography has several distinguishing qualities that make it an excellent choice for students: the total commitment on the part of the faculty led by George J. Rosa III; the facility with its state of the art equipment for both traditional and digital; the open minded and progressive professors; the tight and tense curriculum that provides total immersion in one year in an environment where the doors are open to the student 24x7. If I only I could be a student again, I would love to be in a place like Hallmark.”
