Live Photography Course for Juniors - Virtual Classes
To learn photography is more than fun, it can be a powerful tool of self-expression. But first, you need mastery of your camera and the critical fundamentals. So you can merely look at a scene and know what to do. Like how you can whizz through a gap in traffic before anyone can utter ‘barnacles!’
If you’d like the concepts of photography to be clear as daylight and enshrined in you like a mummy in a pyramid if you’d like to bridge the gap between what you see and what you get, join this photography course online, conducted through video conferencing methods – live. Let us train you to be a sharp-shooter. Of the artistic kind.
Does this sound like you?
- I shoot only in the auto or the manual mode. Auto’s easy and manual’s the best. Right?
- I don’t know why my pictures are all blurry when I open them on the computer.
- What’s ISO? And what ISO do I use in low light?

Yes. The fundamental concepts of digital photography are common to DSLR and compact digital cameras, so it will still be useful, and you’ll be able to try a majority of the discussed concepts practically if your compact camera has manual controls. However, in order to make the most out of the Course, we recommend you hire a DSLR from us for the two days. Please talk to us for details.
