About the Workshop

This is an introductory course/workshop to photography which will help you to understand the technical  aspects of the medium, how to work with your camera and its basic settings. The course will suit amateurs as well as those who already have photographic skills and wishing to strengthen their knowledge of photography. Our course is tailored especially for people who want to start their journey with photography. In small groups of photography enthusiasts like you, you will not only discover raw facts but we will also show you in practice how you can take much better pictures, with instructions and advices from our professional photographer.

 

I believe my course is the best way to  learn photography directly from the photos you take and I guarantee 100% to know the secrets to help you take great and powerful images.
