9-week Photography Course for Beginners

Introduction to Photography

Welcome to our hybrid course! This unique learning experience combines the convenience of online video lessons and exercises with the interactivity of live Zoom meetings. Each week, you’ll receive engaging video content and corresponding exercises to delve into at your own pace.

Additionally, we’ll gather for weekly Zoom meetings where you can ask questions, share insights, and connect with fellow photography enthusiasts. Get ready for a holistic learning journey that combines the best of both worlds – online convenience and in-person practice!
