Online photography classes are one way to learn photography. Many providers offer courses online on hundreds of subjects, including beginner photography, digital photography, etc. You don't need to pay for a credit course (which will cost over $300) unless you are pursuing an actual degree. Non-credit online photography classes are handy, and much less expensive.

Learn photography from your local community college. Again, you don't need to pay for a college credit course if you aren't looking to get a degree. Adult education or community education departments offer non-credit programs on various subjects, including photography.
