Courses
In the past, I have often been asked if I run courses. So I decided to give you a chance to pass on everything I have learned from many years of photography practice in various genres of photography. Because I want to give you as much as possible and tailor the course to you, I only organise individual courses. You can count on a human and motivating approach. Unfortunately my time is limited and I can only do a couple of courses a month, so if you are interested don’t wait and arrange a course in advance.
Location of the courses:
The courses are organized in the surroundings of Tanvald in the Jizera Mountains.
Can I arrange a distance learning course?
In the case of some types of courses it is possible to arrange e.g. Skype distance learning.
Can the course topic be modified?
Yes, if you know exactly what you would like to learn it is possible to tailor the course to suit your needs. We can then consult more via email.
Do I need to have Adobe lightroom or Adobe photoshop?
In case you choose a photography editing course and you don’t own these programs yet, you will be able to work in them on my work computer and I will advise you and how to get these programs from Adobe in the most advantageous way for your future projects. Alternatively, I can recommend cheaper/free alternatives.
