SCHOOL OF PHOTOGRAPHY #4

We have opened registrations for the School of Photography, edition a4a, which will start on February 10, 2025.

The photo is taken before the photographer presses the shutter button. This assumes that the photographer knows exactly what he is photographing, from which angle he is photographing, how he uses the light, how he sets the camera, what will come out, how he will post-process and most importantly, what he wants to say with that photograph and to whom.

This is the promise of our course – at the end you will know what photo you want to take and how to get it.
