Courses

Due to the great interest, I have newly created more types of available courses
I try to conduct the courses very comprehensively and professionally in order to pass on as much of my knowledge and experience as possible to the participants.

Special courses:
1) Portrait photography
2) Individual course

Traditional courses:
1) For beginners- basic settings, rules of photography, technique and working with models
2) One-time course- a very comprehensive course combining basics and advanced topics
3) For advanced users- summarizing more demanding topics such as working with light, environment and emotions

- the maximum number of participants except is 6-10
- all courses include both theory and practice 
- we shoot with my best models and stylists

3) For advanced users
 

I try to conduct the courses comprehensively and professionally in order to pass on as much of my knowledge and experience as possible to the participants.
I did this course only after 6-8 years of my photography practice and lecturing abroad. Trying to live up to expectations

 Theoretical part

- feedback on your work (if interested)
- how to work with inspiration (tips on interesting world photographers, competitions)

I accept 6-10 participants for one photo course in order to be able to attend to each one individually. At the beginning, we will talk about the theory of photography and your work. I will also find out what you do and what skills and experience you have so far. In this course, I offer a greater probe into the choice of environment, working with light in the exterior, choosing models, working with composition. After this theoretical introduction, we will go outside for the practical part, which consists of outdoor photography. We will take pictures in the forest and in the rocks. In the practical part, the model and I will show what to watch out for when photographing people (inappropriate shortcuts and poses, working with movement), how to choose a suitable composition and light at the chosen location. The photoshoot takes place outdoors by the forest with my best costumes and props. In this course, I also give an insight into the way I work when taking pictures. We will take pictures in the forest and in the rocks. We'll finish the course by selecting photos and editing them in photo editors, where I'll outline my simple editing technique in Photoshop.
