IPS All-Access Pass Review: Is It Worth It?
  • The IPS All-Access Pass gives you lifetime access to all 13+ iPhone Photography School courses for one bundled price — typically around $149-$199 on sale.
  • Includes 500+ lessons and 70+ hours of content across photography, video, editing, and social media courses from multiple expert instructors.
  • Buying individually vs. All-Access: individual courses cost $49-$99 each. If you want 3+ courses, the All-Access Pass saves significant money.
  • Best for serious photography enthusiasts who want to explore multiple genres rather than committing to a single course topic.

The IPS All-Access Pass is iPhone Photography School’s bundle deal: one payment for lifetime access to every course they offer. With 13+ courses covering iPhone photography, video, editing, Instagram, landscape, food, urban, drone, and DSLR photography, it is the most cost-effective way to access the full IPS catalog.

We have reviewed every individual course on the platform. Here is what you actually get with the All-Access Pass and whether it makes financial sense.

What’s Included: Every Course in the Bundle

The All-Access Pass includes these 13 courses (plus any future additions):

That is 500+ lessons and 70+ hours of content from 5 different instructors (Emil Pakarklis, Clifford Pickett, Andrew Scrivani, Simone Ferretti, Mark Hemmings, and Hannah Birtwistle).

Value Comparison: All-Access vs. Individual Courses

Individual courses typically cost $49-$99 each on sale. At those prices:

  • 2 courses = $98-$198
  • 3 courses = $147-$297
  • All 13 individually = $637-$1,287

The All-Access Pass typically sells for $149-$199 on sale. If you plan to take 3 or more courses, the All-Access Pass saves money. If you only want one specific course, buy it individually.

iPhone Photography Beginner: Start with iPhone Photo Academy, then iPhone Editing Academy, then explore Landscape Mastery or Urban Photography based on your interests.

Video Creator: iPhone Video Academy followed by Video Editing Academy gives you a complete shoot-to-edit workflow. Add Instagram Academy for social media distribution.

DSLR/Mirrorless Photographer: Digital Camera Mastery for shooting, Lightroom Editing Mastery for post-processing, Photo Shortcuts for quick reference.

The Explorer: If you want to try landscape, urban, food, and drone photography without committing to one genre, the All-Access Pass is designed exactly for this.

Who Is the All-Access Pass For?

Multi-genre enthusiasts: If you enjoy shooting landscapes, food, street, and architecture, the All-Access Pass lets you explore without worrying about individual course costs.

Gift buyers: A single purchase that gives someone access to any photography topic they might be interested in.

Photography beginners: If you are not sure which genre interests you most, having access to everything lets you sample different areas before going deep.

Who should skip it: If you know you only want one or two specific courses, buy them individually. There is no benefit to paying for access you will not use.

Pricing

The All-Access Pass is typically available at $149-$199 during sales (which run frequently). It includes:

  • Lifetime access to all 13+ courses
  • Access to any future courses added to the platform

Final Verdict

The All-Access Pass is the best value in the IPS catalog if you plan to explore multiple photography genres. With 500+ lessons from expert instructors covering nearly every aspect of iPhone and digital photography, it provides years of learning material.

Our top picks from the catalog: iPhone Landscape Mastery (4.5/5) and Urban iPhone Photography (4.5/5) for their exceptional teaching and production quality, Capture It All (4.5/5) as the best all-rounder, and Lightroom Editing Mastery (4/5) as the essential editing companion.

The simple math: if you want 3 or more courses, get the All-Access Pass. If you want just one, buy it individually.

Does the All-Access Pass include future courses?

Yes. Any courses added to the IPS platform in the future are included with your lifetime All-Access Pass purchase.

Can I share my All-Access Pass?

The pass is for individual use. Each student needs their own account and enrollment.

Is there a payment plan?

Yes. IPS typically offers a 3-payment installment option for the All-Access Pass.

What if I already own individual courses?

There is no credit for previously purchased courses. If you already own several courses, calculate whether the remaining courses justify the All-Access price.
