A Year at Hallmark

Every week brings something new in Hallmark's intensive 10-month program. Retrace the journey of our most recent graduates, the Class of 2007, from orientation to graduation. As you step through this timeline, realize that a given week in 2008 or 2009 will likely be diffferent from the "same" week in 2006 or 2007 — unlike multi-year programs, Hallmark is unfettered in its ability to rapidly adapt to industry changes. We take advantage of that freedom to give every class the most current and relevant instruction possible. (You can follow the Class of 2008 on our Week by Week page.)

Hallmark’s Class of 2007 Arrives On Campus

The anxious, eager, and motivated students who make up the Class of 2007 at Hallmark Institute of Photography officially began their 10-month journey with the start of the school’s three-day Orientation on Wednesday, September 6th. Students ranging in age from 18 to 53 came from forty-one different states, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Brazil, Mexico, India, and Russia to make up Hallmark’s 32nd class. The day concluded with an inspiring presentation by award-winning photographer Matthew Jordan Smith.
